An Ending for the Ages in Alabama HS Football Game

Like faking injuries!

LSU should recognize a fake injury when they see one. They have pulled this same stunt several times when needed to slow the momentum of the opposing team.

I believe Larry Bird used to practice those crazy shots just in case he needed to use them.

I remember hearing him say that in an interview.

That is a miracle win, but the guys on the losing side have to be crushed. That is one awful way to lose a ballgame. That is about as bad as the kick 6 load of crap.

I agree 100%

I hate trick plays, but this is football 101. It's a valuable lesson in life - you can bet the better team for 59 out of 60 minutes and still lose.

Kick-six sucked, but on that particular play, Malzahn was better prepared than Saban. It is what it is, but it wasn't cheap and it wasn't trickery. It was simple, well-planned execution.

Hahaha, I would say "well-planned" would be a stretch. I doubt Ol' Gussaroo sat around and planned that play against Alabama. All coaches know you can return a missed FG, and I'm guessing Gus put a guy out there just in case. It worked for them, and it wasn't cheap, but we should have beaten AU by two TDs easily that day without all of our mistakes. I mean how often does an All-America wide receiver drop a TD pass that hits him in stride in the hands? How many FGs did we miss? It was a tough way to lose a game, but AU did execute their play better than we did, so they won the game. I will continue, however, to think it was a load of crap.
