Greg, follow that link, there are three different video reports on that website, all of which show the play you question.
All you have to do is watch it enough times to get oriented to what you are seeing, and you will see that you are
seeing it with Crimson-colored glasses. I am not making this up, it's all right there in front of you. Watch it 20-30
times until you get used to the timing of it. It's there right in front of you. Watch the leg/back hit the ground,
get familiar with what's happening there so you can shift focus to the hands. Reid had the game of his life, single-
handedly stopping Richardson in the early stages when no one else could tackle him. He quite simply rose above the
game, and the interception is no different. Don't stop watching the clip until you see it the way the officials did.
Til then you are just kidding yourself.

And in the end, this quote from the AP said it best.For all of Alabama's heralded recruiting
classes under Saban, it was clear the Crimson Tide didn't devote a lot of time to finding a kicker.
Make no mistake,
from our own stupid penalties from over-physicality and idiocy and picks from our QBs, YOUR guys lost the game because
they have no kicker. And who needs a kicker when you roll over all your opponents, right??

Wrong. Les Miles didn't forget sometimes kicking is the ONLY way to win.
