In a sense, Kirby pulled a "Saban", making a 2nd half substitution that changed the entire tone of the game.
Only difference is Kirby's was calculated and strategic, whereas saban's was absolute back against the wall desperation.
It always perplexes me when people say saban was some genius or brilliant mastermind pulling hurts for tua. He *literally* did not have a choice and it was the only and final bullet left in his gun. Hurts was pretty lousy down the stretch anyway and was not a good passer all year, and in the national title game led the team to a grand total of ZERO points. YOu can't leave a bad QB in the game that has scored you no points in a half. You have to do truly anythign else, even if it means putting in a TFr with limited snaps.
And in 2018 during the reversal of that again there was no choice since Tua's ankle got fricked. Again, no choice.

2018 actually was the smart choice. We had arguably the 2nd best pass defense in the SEC. But we allowed 10 rushing TDs to QBs that year. We didnt have the linebacker play (adjusting to no Roquan) for Hurts in 2018.
I see media and posters moan about a fake punt on 4th down in the SECCG. But a mobile QB like Hurts in a 2 minute drill against our linebackers? Give Bama the ball and we lose. Nothing was more obvious to me.
The only question was to run a fake or keep our offense on the field for the 4th down try.
