Not criticizing, though I wouldn't have called it, just curious.

I didn't think it was the right call for a number of reasons, least of which has to do with the new clock rules. The last few minutes of the game have changed drimatically this year and this is not the Pros where the last 2 minutes can last for 15.

Keep in mind that had UT not gotten a penalty to stop the clock BAMA would have been in dire straights and may have gotten the ball back with something like 30 seconds on the clock while operating on their own 15 yard line or so. Luckily however UT got a penalty that stopped the clock and made the punt look like genius. That saved us atleast one timeout.
Given that UT only had to make 10 yards to seal the deal against us I think I might have just taken my chances. It's a tough call though. We played well enough over the entirety of the game but late we started blowing assignements and playing undisciplined.
The fact that we needed 10 yards on 4th down might have been the only thing that would have pusuaded me to punt. Had it been 4th and 5 I would have said that the punt was definitely the wrong call.
Anyway, it didn't hurt us. We stopped them. Problem is, we couldn't do anything once we got it back.
Maybe this whole thread is moot.

Just curious, what were the three plays called previously that put us in a 4th and 10 situation? Any KD runs up the middle?
