Especially when boneheaded Saban decided to try a 59-yard FG and leave his fat-arse O-line in there to defend a kick return.

38-17. Fear the thumb. 50 yd line. 21-0.

Nah, in all seriousness, the linemen were probably selected over special teams players in order to help block for a long range field goal. With smaller players, he would have risked OT or a block field goal return for a loss. Auburn had the momentum either way. He was coaching to win.
