Uncensored Play-By-Play: The Catch :36 4th Georgia 38 Auburn 37 Verne Lundquist: “4th and 18†Nick Marshall surveys the Georgia Defense. His instinct is to run. His team has already run 57 times tonight. That number is absurd. Kenyans think Auburn runs too much. Mark Richt wonders if Auburn will spike it here. Despite the debacle at the end of last season’s SEC Championship game, he still doesn’t grasp the concept of spiking. Here is the snap… :32 4th Georgia goes with a three man rush. Five defenders linger roughly 18 yards away from scrimmage protecting against the first down. Safeties Corey Moore, Josh Harvey-Clemmons, and Trey Matthews huddle around the lone Auburn receiver, Ricardo Louis, as he streaks down the field. Ricardo Louis sounds like a made up name. Marshall steps up into the pocket. He’s not looking to run and he’s not looking for a first down… Marshall, who only threw the ball three times for 35 yards a week ago in Auburn’s win over Tennessee, has bigger plans. He’s looking to change the hearts and minds of everyone who questions his ability as a passer by throwing the biggest pass of his career into triple coverage? Whatever, Nick, it’s your journey. :30 4th Louis is flying down the field, but Harvey-Clemmons and Matthews are right there with him. Wasn’t the Jackel’s real name Ricardo Louis? The defenders see the ball coming right to them, and pause, to think, “What has Todd Grantham coached us to do in this situation? Trick question, He’s never coached us! WHAT DO WE DO????†:29 4th Yep, it’s tipped by Harvey-Clemons and Matthews. They are all over it. Auburn fans take one last swig then tuck their mini bottles of Beam into their boots and purses. :28 4th Verne: “OH MY GOD!†Me: “GET THE F**K OUT OF HERE!†Girl sitting next to me: “Does that count? Do they win now?†:27 4th Ricardo Louis runs past the defenders as they both tip the ball into the air and it gently lands in his hand. I don’t know how he saw the ball or if he even did. His hands just knew what to do out of habit. He somehow secures the ball at the 15 yard line and strolls into the end zone as Georgia’s defenders stand around wondering why their ear drums just imploded. The City of Auburn, Alabama, has just melted down. :26 4th Ricardo Louis is one cool sonuvabitch. He stands alone in the end zone as the entire world explodes around him acting like what he just did was normal. That wasn’t normal Ricardo! It was…I don’t know… magic? Witchcraft? Deus Ex Machina? Nick Marshall is running down the field at about a 4.2 forty clip with two fingers in the air. I don’t know if he’s saying they need to go for two, or if he’s saying, “How’s that for a pass completion? Deuces.†The camera of course finds Aaron Murray, who appears to once again be on the wrong side of an improbable comeback. He was great, as always, but came up short. The look on his face says, “I seriously hate my defense.†Verne is silent, feared dead. Danielson is silent, probably giving Verne mouth to mouth. Everyone is in shock. College Football is the best.
That is some funny shift. Ricardo Louis sounds like a made up name.
It's French!
I'm just glad he's not an Englishster. My mommy told me I have to hate all Englishters.
Racist.
Even Malcolm Merriwether?
