THE STORY
In the 2018 SEC Championship Game on December 1, Georgia led Alabama 28-14 with 1:04 remaining. Instead of kicking deep, Georgia's special teams executed a squib kick, allowing Alabama to start at their 35-yard line. Alabama scored a touchdown and a two-point conversion, tying the game and eventually winning in overtime, 35-28.
