100 yard returns are a rarity, but it was probably just as unlikely that Bama's second-string kicker was going to have the leg to kick the ball a full 57 yards.
I'm not debating trying to kick the FG to try and win the game.
However, I do question why they were running the ball twice in a row. I mean McCarron led a pretty decent drive against LSU in 2012 with 1:30. Now, Bama only had :30 left against Auburn, but I think AJ could've gotten the ball a bit closer than 57 yards. At least if you missed, it would've gone out the back of the endzone.

I was wanting the hail mary as well. I wasn't thinking 100 yard return, but I was thinking about the blocked field goal returned for a touchdown vs UGA in the SECCG.
Heck, on third and one/fourth and one I was wanting a pass to Fowler or Howard. AU was selling out for the run and a completed pass could have gone the distance.
