I disagree. It was a defensive struggle and his kickers had already missed three kicks. Why take a chance at a turnover? He liked his odds better in OT. I thought it was the right call. If you question Saban then u need to question Miles for not using his TO's to stop the clock and go for the blocked punt also.

Do what?!

Hahahaha, I agree that Saban probably liked his chances in OT, as I've already stated that. What I'm saying is that I found it odd (I found it) that he didn't try more to get into FG range and end it. He didn't have to trust his QB if that was the case, and he didn't have to trust his Kicker if that was the case, but he could have used his time outs and tried to move the ball and take a chance. I don't buy that he didn't trust the QB or the kicker. He allowed them to kick all night. It was long kicks. He should have done differently in my opinion

Miles had confidence in his kickers for the OT(given what had happened thus far) - Saban shouldn't have.
