ATLANTA -- It’s scary how similar the circumstances were.
The same stakes. The same stadium. The same side of the field.
It’s 2012 and Alabama is playing Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.
It’s 2015 and Alabama is playing Florida for the conference title.
Alabama trails in both games. In both instances, the offense is at midfield when a play-action pass is called.
AJ McCarron spots Amari Cooper.
Both freshmen receivers have their men beat.
Cooper catches up to McCarron’s pass and scores the go-ahead touchdown.
Ridley slows down, jumps between two Florida defensive backs and comes down with Coker's pass inside the 10-yard line, setting up a go-ahead touchdown by Derrick Henry.
