I don't think there's a more frustrating memory about this series than settling for a FG after the fumble recovery in the '14 game.

It would have been foolish to putt he ball in the air when a potential game winning chip shot is in hand. They got screwed with a ridiculous unsportsmanlike penalty. The strategy then was just gain a few yards and shorten the FG distance even more. Had they passed there could have been a sack, holding call or interception.

BAMA benefitted from favorable officiating or the outcome is likely different. The unsportsmanlike penalty, failure to review the BAMA reception right before the tying FG, the illegal formation on the first play of overtime.

Criticize the coaches for conservatism at other points but they clearly made the right decision and trusted the defense which had allowed only 10 points to hold protect the lead with little over a minute left. Lets not forget the kickoff went out of bounds. How crucial was that?

Wasn't that the series that Bama got one of those timely "penalties" when our guy got a PF called against him when at worst it should have been offsetting penalties?

That had nothing to do with play calling and everything to do with a bullshite personal foul penalty that pushed us out to the 20 yard line.

I agree but that bullshite personal foul call really put us in a bad spot. Bama fans can say whatever they want, but everybody knows that you have to beat them and the refs. They have gotten so many bullshite calls/non-calls at pivotal points in the game that could very easily have been the difference in losing or winning a game. Brandon harris throwing that int on the first play of the second half at bama in 2015 pissed me off. That was the game changing play, we never recovered from that.
