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

This is sorta how I feel. I think he's way too conservative and always has been. CLM gets torn a new a-hole for not utilizing the clock if the same situation went the other way.

Miles had two timeouts (I think). If Miles knew that Saban was just running out the clock, then why didn't he call timeout to stop the clock? If you are arguing about Saban not using his timeouts, u must look at Miles also. He could have had a chance for a muffed punt, bad snap etc....
