Percentage wise, I see this decision to score from the 2 yard line as the worst possible decision a coach could make. It's like they were scared they would lose in OT, with that 90% or better field goal shot that would send them there, and with Alabama now on it's heels?
If they don't score with 6 seconds left, it's over. Lot's of things could have went wrong with only 6 seconds left. But plenty of time for that routine FG, though.
They had everything going their way. The momentum, Alabama's big running back was sidelined, and again, that powerful momentum they found when everything is clicking for them. Especially the QB, who was nearly unstoppable that last quarter.
Two of these for a lucky team and coach.
And the best team lost this game--but could they win in OT with that powerful back sitting?
And add, millions of dollars also, with that lame decision.
