I would imagine most fans old enough to have watched it remember that Ryan Pflugner missed an extra point in overtime in the 2000 Orange Bowl which caused Alabama to lose to Michigan. Many may not remember that Alabama blocked a Michigan field goal attempt on the last play in regulation to send the game to OT in the first place.

In a similar vein, everyone remembers Tua's 2nd-and-26 TD pass to beat UGA in OT in the NCG for the 2017 season. Everyone may not remember that Bama missed a FG as time expired that would have won the game in regulation.

In the 1985 Iron Bowl, everyone remembers the Van Tiffin kick.

Most don't remember the unbelievable plays by Mike Shula and others on that drive just to move the ball into position.

His block on Al Bell's fourth-down reverse.

Gene Jelks catch on third and long.

Greg Richardson stretching to get out of bounds with six seconds left.

How bout the fact that earlier in 1999 Plugner missed the first XP in overtime at Florida that would have left the game tied after Florida missed theirs, but Florida was offsides. He got another try, BARELY made that one, and Alabama broke Florida's long SEC home win streak.
