Early in the fourth quarter of a deadlocked Southern dust-up Monday night, Alabama's stoic boss man lost his mind.
He ordered his team to attempt to kick the football to itself.
The game was tied, a college football championship was at stake, and Alabama's curled-lip curmudgeon decided this was the perfect time to play a trick.
An onside kick? Really? Really.
The Alabama popup was perfect, the Clemson kids were perfectly fooled, the ball was recovered by Alabama, the momentum was lost by Clemson, and Alabama stunningly blew open a tie into a 45-40 victory in the College Football Playoff championship game at University of Phoenix Stadium.
