I think we had the momentum after the TD. The FG call was really the right one. I think Saban felt we had the momentum and he was just hoping the kid would do something amazing to win it
I agree and still think Saban made the right call. Obviously it backfired in spectacular fashion.....but I did not want to go to OT as I was convinced AU had the momentum at that point and we wouldn't have won.....

It was just a odd situation. Saban had his regular FG unit on the field and probably did not think for one second that we would be able to run it back all the way
I think its just a situation where we had the better guys on the field and there was nothing Bama could do once Davis hit the corner
"Bama as all fat guys out there" was about the best explanation that could have been given.

I absolutely agreed with the FG and still do (though I might suggest putting a little more speed on the field :). )
Coaches are human just like we are, and not even the "perfect" Nick Saban can anticipate every fine detail. All we can ask is that he knows his players, he has scouted the opponents, and he knows the odds and what puts us in best position to win.
If the kid makes the long field goal, Saban is a genius. There's a reason this play is so memorable...it just doesn't happen almost ever.
