Nobody can make Saban panic like Dabo does. It worked out for Bama with on onsides kick once, but if it hadn't we would have 3 NCs in the last four years.
He went for it on fourth around his own 35 this year and got away with it, but the "fake" FG that everyone saw coming was pathetic. When he's playing against Clemson, and sees that his offense can't keep up, he hits the panic button early and often.
