That whole game seemed like people were trying to tell me what I didn't see.

We're discussing football. You wouldn't understand.

So it counts for two home runs in the 3rd frame right?

Gotta say, the Bama entourage, especially #6, should have gotten a dressing-down from Saban. You're not his fan section, kids. You're his bodyguards. Your job is to watch for OM players moving in to tackle him. Had the OM player been just a touch quicker or stronger, he could have stopped Allen inside the five. He just slipped right past the upraised arms of #6. In a properly-executed situation, he would have been blocked out of bounds before reaching Allen.

Well, that's good for Williams, but I don't think it's the right call.

His arm was going forward, if that hits the ground they are gonna call it incomplete.

Agreed 100%. I was not happy about that, I'm sure it will come up this week.
The more likely scenario, IMO, is a strip fumble. If it went through the endzone for a touchback, that would have been devastating.

Pretty sure Gary Danielson would have held up the game long enough for Birmingham to get it right.

Allen was using the jumbotron as a rear view, saw that guy coming up from behind

Actually, Allen deserves major credit here over and above the interception (it still looks like an interception to me, though "arm-jostling" should be a stat so the guy who hit Kelly could get credit.) Right before the OM guy grabs him, he switches from a one hand grip to two hands against the chest (the name of which is escaping me for some reason despite my old HS coach drilling it in.) He apparently knew the OM guy was right on top of him. Lots of guys would have already raised the football up in victory, so it was a good move.
Edit: Or maybe narddogg is correct and Allen saw it on the jumbotron. Either way, he was paying attention.

So?

It was a strange looking play. I was actually surprised he caught it with the way it came at him so suddenly.

Eh. It was a play in the biggest SEC game of the week. It wasn't exactly "Checkin if your team has mastered the sippy cup" or anything, but the debate over whether it was a fumble or interception has broader appeal.

Narrdog did indeed nail it. Allen said in a postgame interview that he knew the guy was coming because he was checking the jumbotron to make sure he was clear. There's even a photo of him that appears to show him looking up at it as he ran. IMO, that's pretty danged heads-up but it still doesn't excuse the other guys inaction.

Pretty sure he was too. It looked like a "oh shait, look what I found" moment.

Not really.
If it had relevance to how the game turned out, maybe. But returning a fumble or an INT leads to the same result, a defensive TD.

Regardless of fumble or pick 6... Swag Kelly received one hell of a bitch-slap on that one
