Our backup QB did the honorable thing and quit the team after blowing the SECCG with his stupid play. Will the 3rd string QB for Bama do the same?

I wouldn’t say it was the honorable thing, but yeah, that was a bad play.

dude is gonna get processed anyways so he accomplishes nothing by leaving, but in a show of solidarity, Bama's Kicker will be drawn and quartered

Fake FG vs. Fake Punt
Both of them were reasonable and logical calls imo.
For Bama, the momentum shift was getting out of hand, and so it’s reasonable to try and flip it. Especially when your kicker wasn’t going to make the FG anyway. So why not?
Saban did same risky thing with the onside kick in Bama/Clemson part 1 too. And it worked to perfection.
The shocking part this time though was just how terrible the execution was. Just like Kirby’s fake punt. Just dead from the start.
At least Saban didn’t have Tua or Jalen in there to make it extra extra obvious.

I made this exact comment to a friend last night.

Clemson was ready for some kind of fake. Why every coach doesn't work his kicker/holder and punter on passing during practice is beyond me. 10 minutes each practice, and lots of free time during summer before camp for guys to do this on their own time. Hot Rod almost pulled it off against LSU. That might have sparked a comeback.

Ummm.....the play was designed with the kicker as the lead blocker running straight into Clemson’s all-first-rounder D-line. This play was exponentially worse than the fake punt.

Not to mention no one believes Alabama trusts their kicker to make a 40 yarder. That said, I think they're equally as dumb because we just "happened" to put Justin Fields on the punt team for the first time? Right then? Both were just awful.

It was Kirby Smart's stupid play, not Fields. Running a fake punt on 4th and 11 at midfield in a tie game is idiotic. Putting Fields back there to tip off the Bama defense just added more stupidity to the whole endeavor.
