Miracle pass leads Auburn to stunning win over Georgia
      

Ricardo Louis

Auburn receiver Ricardo Louis makes an improbable catch against Georgia after Bulldogs defenders failed to corral an underthrown pass and it fell into Louis' waiting hands for a 73-yard game-winning touchdown. (Amanda Sowards / Associated Press / November 16, 2013)
By Chris Dufresne

November 16, 2013, 5:30 p.m.

Remember Saturday if Auburn goes on to beat Alabama and then wins the national title.

Remember the throw, the tip and the catch.

Remember how it never should have happened.

Remember that Auburn improved to 10-1 on a Hail Mary that rivals Doug Flutie’s heave on the day after Thanksgiving in 1984.

Yes, Auburn defeated Georgia, 43-38, at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

It took one of the most improbable plays in the history of college football.

Georgia had Auburn pinned at fourth and 18 on its own 27 when quarterback Nick Marshall let fly a desperate pass down the middle.

The ball was so underthrown two Georgia defenders, Josh Harvey-Clemons and Tray Matthews, could have had a picnic before deciding which player would knock it down.

Instead, Harvey-Clemons tipped the ball away from Matthews into the waiting arms of Auburn receiver Ricardo Louis, who raced for the game-winning touchdown on a 73-yard play.

Georgia (6-4) had fought back to take the lead on Aaron Murray’s five-yard scoring run, on fourth down, with 1 minute 49 seconds left.

Georgia, which came five yards short of defeating Alabama in last year’s Southeastern Conference title game, came up short again.

Auburn’s improbable win sets up its home showdown in two Saturdays against Alabama.

Under first-year coach Gus Malzahn, Auburn has improved from 3-9 into a national title contender.

Auburn finished 0-8 in SEC play last year.

This is the kind of victory that can define seasons.

You need skill and luck to win championships in college football, and Auburn on Saturday had both.

“He’s got the ‘it’ factor,” Malzahn said on CBS of Marshall, his quarterback. “He has the ability to make plays when others can’t.”

In this case, the “others” who couldn’t played defense for Georgia.

Is it just me or almost every play it seemed like either a UGA player or coach was bitching about something on the field and UGA players were talking shit.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

They were the pettiest, whiniest bunch I've ever seen on a football field.  Bitch-made, the whole fucking organization.

Well put my friend. And they'll keep standing by their man. Stepping up on the ref like Richt did - I can see why his teams have the personality they have. Im surprised they didn't start stomping to the soulja boi with 90 seconds left.

I wish we had a gif of Verne's face when that TD was made...I'm guessing his hands were covering his face as he was screaming "Oh My God, Oh Goodness, Oh No!!!!... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...Ricardo Louis."

My friend pointed out what Verne said.  I can't believe that fat fuck screamed oh no when we scored a miracle touchdown. 

I really hope he has a heart attack on Nov 30 when we beat Alabama.

Their call of the play was so bad that ESPN only used Bramblett's call...which was as close to a Jim Fyffe call as I've heard from him and it was a brilliant, goose bumps, make the hair on the back of your neck stand up type call. When Bramblett spoke in tongues for a brief second, it was nothing short of amazing.

Then you have Verne and Gary's call. Verne was crying Oh No while Gary was explaining the blunder by the UGA defenders...nevermind the miraculous concentration & catch.

Was listening to an early morning sports talk show recently while travelling which profiled great calls throughout the history of sports, predominantly baseball and football and the key according to the host is that the color man have the ability to envision or anticipate the events taking place before they actually occur. The other key is that the play analyst STFU when it happens. Obviously Verne blew the moment and Gary was Gary. I never heard them anyway because I was standing next to my boy Ricardo in the endzone.
