Kirby Smart and Georgia went viral for all the wrong reasons during their 24-21 loss to Alabama. The Bulldogs had the Crimson Tide's defense on their heels deep in their own territory as they faced a crucial 4th and one from inside the 10-yard line.

Smart had two choices here, kick the field goal to tie the game or go for it to try and score a touchdown.
