Of course I didn't expect the return. But I was very hopeful we would make the long kick, because I was convinced we would lose in OT. Our kicker wasn't reliable that day, and auburn had momentum most of the 4th quarter.
I would have made the same decision, and I would make the same decision again. I would just make sure to put a couple guys with speed on the ends of the line, and have a defensive strategy in case of a return.
But I felt then, and still feel, that we would have likely lost in OT and the long kick was the right call.

Has to be one of the craziest endings ever, but I think you are right. Saban could feel momentum had shifted so he took the long shot. If it had worked, it would be one of those amazing games of the year.
EDIT --- in high school Chris was lethal on kick offs and punt returns. From just one season, we could make a highlight reel of just those plays.
The return made it one of the most amazing of all time. I remember hearing Howard Stern talk about the game, he did not know anything about the game or who was playing, he just said he had never seen a crowd at a bar go so wild.
