bullshite. They damn sure should have seen it coming. You have to know that Auburn is going to expect that there's a good chance it would be short and that they would set up a return. If you think about it, it's probably a helluva lot easier to return for a TD than a punt. No gunners, no kick coverage, in addition to a kicker who's not a defender...and Griffith is no former LB...now you've also got a holder on the field who's not a defender. Your FG protection team probably isn't at all the same as your kick coverage team.

Also LSU did the same short field goal returned for a touchdown earlier this year. It's not like it was completely unheard of.

Did you see it coming? I sure as hell didn't see it coming. As soon as it was obvious he missed it the first thought that entered into mine and everyone else's heads was overtime. Never in a million years did I see him returning the ball 109 yards for a touchdown with zero time remaining in the game. You could say that Saban is paid all that money to anticipate that shite but it's really difficult to anticipate a scenario that has never happened before. I can't think of an instance in major college football history where an opposing team returned a missed field goal back for a TD to win the game.

It's a once in a generation type of play. Punt Bama Punt was my father's once in a generation play. Kick Bama Kick is now my generation's once in a generation play.
