TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It was a play that no one watching will ever forget, now simply known as the “Kick Six.”
After a replay review of Alabama’s final offensive play determined that there was still one second remaining on the clock when running back T.J. Yeldon stepped out of bounds, head coach Nick Saban decided to go for a potential game-winning 57-yard field-goal attempt.
All eyes were on the ball as it came off Adam Griffith’s foot and sailed into the night air, but that was the problem for the Crimson Tide—hardly anyone on the field was thinking about what could come next.
