He said, if it has a name, I certainly would not tell you (the media)IIRC Saban also called it 'gravedigger' in the postgame interview.
They knew that the game was not over.I just watched the play again (for like the 100th time) and one thing that strikes me is how subdued our guys are after the play.
Maybe it was disbelief...or total relief?
What a play!
Even the players on the sideline were relatively subdued.They knew that the game was not over.
You can't really celebrate with just a three point lead and the other team still has the ball with 30 seconds on the clock.They knew that the game was not over.
Especially in that house of horrors.You can't really celebrate with just a three point lead and the other team still has the ball with 30 seconds on the clock.
"Grave Digger" may be the name of the play as known internally, but what we're looking for here isn't really the name of the play, but a name for the event.
You may be right, but part of me knew they were toast when they only got to the 10 or 15 on the kickoff with 26 seconds on the clock and no timeouts left I'll have to rewatch, but it didn't look like we went prevent. Probably because they only needed a field goal to tie.Especially in that house of horrors.
I was still waiting for AU to answer with a miracle of their own when Autry's crew just flat no sold a maybe Safety on the next to last play to hurriedly give AU ONE MORE PLAY with 1 Sec on the clock.
Thankfully Arnold ended it next with a Pick before they could lateral the ball around.
