You seem to have a special interest in this.
Not really a "special" interest. I remember the incident when it happened and the fact of meeting Holt (along with Bear Bryant and other members of the 61 team) a few months later keeps this in my mind.

Tech's 7 - 6 win in 1962. The SI recap
quote:
Alabama scored its only touchdown in the fourth period, after a Georgia Tech misplay on a punt try gave Alabama the ball on the Tech nine. On the extra point Bryant gambled again, disdaining a kick for one point and a tie and electing instead to rush for a two-pointer. It failed. Later Bryant said, "There was no question; we had to go for the two points. It was my call and I'll take the blame, but when you're number one in the country you don't play for the tie."
