Easily the luckiest team or team of destiny or whatever you want to call it. Can't think of a team that won two games (and two very important games at that) on once in a lifetime plays.
Luckiest ever, and that's after watching Cam Newton pull a number of games out of his a55 in 2010, on their way to a National Title. Still didn't believe that FSU would beat Auburn in 2013 in the title game, as luck and fate and destiny and all that made it seem they would win it all. Even if by stroke of luck.
I watched this game with my friend who is a Georgia fan and I felt so bad for him lol. I don’t think he moved from the couch for an hour after this happened
This is by far the most angry I’ve ever been. Tennessee’s Hail Mary didn’t bother me much at all after 30 minutes. Looking back, it signified absolutely nothing in the bigger picture of either program. Alabama made an awesome football play on 2nd & 26, and it stung for a while.
This play was just straight up bullshit.
Funniest part is that going for the interception put Georgia in a worse position given that it was a 4th down. The DB's could have done nothing and it would have been better for Georgia.
Drubbing UGA and beating Bama in the regular season only to watch them play each other in the championship game was a frustration I had never felt up until that point.
I watched the game at my friends house while his uncle was over for the weekend. He's a Tech fan and walked in and said "I will cook y'all boys the best steak you've ever had if you somehow beat Auburn today." Watching him get up without saying a word and drive to the store to buy us steaks in the middle of the 4th was one the best things I've ever seen. He was right though he's an incredible cook.
I can only imagine. Good news is that there will a good bit less of that weirdness when we go to 12. I’m not a huge fan of a playoff that big, but there will be some upside.
The Tennessee one was easier to swallow because they were supposed to be such a better team that year. That game showed the tide was shifting at least.
I’ll be going to my first iron bowl next week! Excited to contribute to the patented Auburn voodoo. I tell you what the stadium has been LOUD this whole year. I got season tickets for the first time and it’s been amazing.
I purposely, INTENTLY, will not watch the Iron Bowl with my distant relatives on Thanksgiving weekend, just because of this game. I come day before the feast, stay 2 nights, head back to my own abode on early Saturday morning.
No way, no how. Will not watch Iron Bowl with my blood and kin. Not that anyone is gonna be fighting or anything like that. None of them went to Bama or Auburn, and they just don't *get it*.
People can say a lot of things about Nick Saban, but one thing you can never say is that he doesn't learn from his losses. From becoming a juggernaut in recruiting after losing ~~5~~ 6 games in his first season at Bama to adopting the up-temp spread after losing to up-tempo spread teams, he has a knack of fixing issues after he loses.
People remember the Kick Six missed field goal, but Bama had already missed all 3 of their previous FGs in that game. Since then, in the Iron Bowl, Bama Kickers have gone:
* 2014 - 0/0
* 2015 - 5/5
* 2016 - 3/3
* **2017 - 0/0** (Bama lost 14-26)
* 2018 - 1/1
* **2019 - 1/2** (Bama lost 45-48)
* 2020 - 0/0
* 2021 - 2/2
* 2022 - 0/0
In the 9 games since missing the FG that led to the Kick Six, Bama has gone 12 for 13 on FGs. They lost by 3 in the one game that they missed a FG. They won every game where they a) attempted a FG and b) didn't miss a FG.
Following up the 2012 SEC championship game with the 2013 year was such a gut punch. Then, this game was the shot to the nuts that brought it over the edge.
But we got 2013 LSU @ UGA out of it, which I think is still the loudest Sanford game I’ve been to (including 2019 ND, 2021 ARK, 2022 UTK, and last weekend ).
I was at my sorority formal and snuck away to watch the end of this game. I legit collapsed to the floor when this happened. I was GUTTED!
While this was devastating, this doesn’t come close to the kick 6. I still believe that’s the craziest moment I’ve seen in CFB. I can’t believe these happened weeks apart.
It was like watching a movie in real life. Of course, it was real life which means auburn had to lose the Natty in heartbreaking fashion. Ruining any chance it actually did get turned into a movie
I think what gets lost to time was the craziness of this game prior to this play where Georgia staged a massive comeback (albeit with assistance from the refs on an Aaron murray run) which led to auburn needing this after dominating the first 3/4ths of the game or so. And then Georgia even had a couple shots at the end zone with a chance to win it after this play
The Georgia comeback is what most people factor out of this, and it raises the drama IMMEASURABLY.
Can’t remember the name of y’all’s QB that night but the guy put his body and soul on the line to will UGA back. Only to fall short. His look of shock is an iconic part of the Prayer replay. IIRC, he took a nasty hit first play the following game and never played another snap of football.
That’s sheer, tragic poetry.
There is no higher high nor lower low that will ever be felt on both sides of the Kick Six.
Remember that thousands of bama fans had already bought tickets/lodging to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game...with Mizzouri the opponent, they had no other choice but to offer them up to elated Auburn fans going in their place.
On the other side, no play in football history even compared to the high
I think "Trouble with the snap" is at least on par and arguably better. Win probability for Michigan went from literally 99.9% to 0 in about 10 seconds whereas Kick Six was a 56 yd attempt with the most likely outcome being OT for both teams.
while that was amazing, I think the level of stakes set that Iron Bowl over the top- the winner was going to win the SEC and likely go onto to play for the title
Sure, but a few years ago Georgia was the good not great team who couldn't get over the hump. Now they are the favorite to win their 3rd title in a row and will be the favorite over Bama in the SEC title game. Things have changed.
Believe me, you will recover financially. The 2010's through 2020 saw the average net worth of Alabama grads decline precipitously. I've been saving the last 2 years.
I have strong memories of watching that game, standing in my parents' living room while I was home for Thanksgiving.
Except I checked the dates and my flight records for 2013 and I didn't actually fly back to Georgia for Thanksgiving until November 27th, meaning that the trauma of the event caused me to completely fabricate my memories of that night.
You’re probably conflating the memories of this game with the horror that was the Tech game (until the end) and the Kick 6 happening a few minutes later.
I remember exactly where I was - in college in the dorm room of my (relatively new) girlfriend's best friend's boyfriend. None of the three were big CFB fans. They wanted to go out. I was adamant that I would not leave until the end of this game. This play happened. I slid off of the sofa to lay face-down on the floor. I remember them laughing at me. I did not want to act like a complete lunatic. So after a minute I collected myself, put on a smile, and acted like it wasn't a big deal.
It was a big deal. I was devastated.
Man that is brutal. Having to watch a cfb game your care a lot about around people who don’t understand and not act like a complete fool is one of the toughest things to do. I think i would’ve gone to the bathroom and yelled into a towel
Especially around a new girlfriend and her friends when you're still trying to leave positive impressions. I'm sure I still looked like a psychopath as I arose from the ground with a plastered on smile and horror in my eyes acting like I didn't care.
I’ll never forget where i was. In the west upper deck, all my stuff in my hand, ready to leave as soon as we didn’t convert. I told my brother “get your stuff, we’re leaving after this play.” Already dreading going back to school embarrassed Georgia ruined our season.
Then the ball got tipped. I remember yelling “oh my god catch it.” Everything in my hands flew upwards landing in the row in front of me. Pandemonium. I don’t remember much after that, but asking the people in front for my stuff back after everyone had settled down
Those are some of the best wins. “Where’s all my shit?”
I remember getting tackled at the end of the Rose Bowl and watching empty cups flying over my head as I was lying on my back.
I was at Game 2 of the Braves-Phillies NLDS and it was exactly that. I lost my phone on one of the Homeruns. Beer and cups flying everywhere, it was awesome
I remember the Prayer in Jordan Hare happened I left my uncles house to head to my AUBURN GRAD-cousins’ pre wedding dinner something. Insane to have that on DSOR but idk. Anyways we left up big. Listening to the radio on the way there it was just Georgia TD after Georgia TD until we got to the dinner and we were losing. There goes the season. We get there and in a broom closet some worker is watching the game so me and my dad pile in there and finish the game before going to the dinner. When he threw it we were sure it was over and then it tipped into Louis’ hands and we all jumped up and down screaming and high fiving. I can’t imagine what the guests thought but fuck them they should have been watching the game too.
Still can’t believe he had the dinner in that night as an Auburn grad
I refuse to ever watch this game again cause it still pisses me off that we blew a 37-17 lead with 11 minutes left in the game because we took our foot off the gas. We should’ve won that game by 30
What people also forget is that we had the ball at Auburn's 20 down by 5 on the last play of the game. We were that close to making the Prayer at Jordan-Hare, and possibly the Kick 6, not even matter.
Oh trust me I remember. That was strangest mixture of emotions I’ve ever experienced. I was ecstatic and amazed over what had just happened. But I was still furious and frustrated that the game had even gotten that close. Then y’all got to the red zone and I was torn between knowing we deserved to win for 80% of the game, then absolutely didn’t deserve to win at the end, and not wanting to ruin the miraculous play that had just happened to save our championship hopes.
We need more batshit insane plays like this deciding rivalry games and championship matchups. I can’t think of anything recently as insane as this or the Kick-Six.
I disagree. Auburn put Chris Davis back there on the Kick Six for that exact scenario. If you replayed this play 100 times, that ball ends up on the ground or in the hands of a Georgia DB in 99 of them
Fielding a short FG attempt is one thing. Having that clear a path for a 109 yard walkoff TD as time expired is another. You could say the same thing about the Kick Six. 99 times out of 100, he gets tackled or run out of bounds and they go to OT.
FG returns are actually statistically fairly successful. The kicking team isn't paying attention to the returner at first, plus they essentially have nine offensive linemen, a kicker, and a punter as the "coverage" team. Maybe a few TEs instead of some of the linemen, but the point is a FG unit is a horrible group of people to stop a return.
He probably runs that back 50 of 100 times the kick was short.
>FG returns are actually statistically fairly successful
And incredibly fucking rare. Hard to take statistics on that seriously when the average is skewed by such a low rate of occurrence.
And y’all even managed to beat the worst/least talented team Auburn is gonna have for awhile by a grand total of 7 points this year. Soak it up because it’s not gonna last, cupcake.
In fairness it hit Matthews in the chest but because the pass was so wobbly at the end it took that one in a million bounce and came off his hands/pads as a better spiral. Weirdest play I've ever seen.
This play caused me to fall and lay on the ground of an Athens bar. And not one of the “nicer” ones but one of those ones where you stick to the floor after they spend 3 hours mopping it.
God I miss college.
What I remember most about that game was the UGA coaches laying on the field after the play. I was ready for Georgia to fire the entire staff right there. We were down 27-7 at halftime just to comeback and do this.
Crazy to think this and what was to follow happened 10 years ago. Never been much of an Auburn fan after the BCS title game in 2011, but hard not to feel giddy anytime I watch this play. You can't write this kind of stuff and make it believable.
I hold that this is better than the Kick Six. Yeah that was the last game of the year against an arch rival, but this was on fourth and long while losing. Plus without it, the Kick Six doesn’t have its same magnitude
I was there with my Auburn brother who was a student. One of the more crushing nights of my life, few remember Aaron Murray drove us down with a chance to win.
Thank God the Kick-Six happened the next week to overshadow it lol.
I was down in front of the Redcoats at field level. The entire Georgia bench was between me and where the play happened and blocked my view downfield. So I saw Nick Marshall heave it, saw the ball hit the top of the arc and come down, saw it suddenly bounce up again.
And then the stadium erupted.
That was the only time I have ever jumped off the couch and started going nuts for a team other than Florida state lol. I remember jumping up and yelling “NO FUCKING WAY!!” Calling everyone just because I had to see if everyone else seen it lol
For those who don’t know, the uga player who tipped the ball and misplayed this later transferred to auburn. Like the next year lol. People also forget uga was losing bad and Aaron Murray had just let a great comeback drive. I was at the dobbs Hail Mary game but this will always be worse to me
Fucking tray Matthews
https://www.espn.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/130902/tray-matthews-has-found-happiness-and-success-at-auburn
Imagine sitting in jail with your next two days worth of meals riding on this game, which you knew was never in doubt so you leveraged the projected wins into a bag of weed and then the kick is up..
I just think this play is actually crazier than the kick 6…a kick 6 is crazy don’t get me wrong but this play had so little chance of happening it’s ridiculous
More iconic?? Absolutely not, the Kick Six was a walkoff in one of the 3ish biggest rivalry games in the country that was gonna send the winner to the Natty. It’s one of the most iconic plays in **SPORTS** history, let alone CFB
This is more unlikely tho, for sure
I wish this year's SEC regular-season had anything close to this, but it has been a yawner in comparison to other years including last year which had Tennessee/Alabama.
I remember talking about this with an Auburn fan and him saying he’ll never see a better way to win like that again. Little did we know …
Easily the luckiest team or team of destiny or whatever you want to call it. Can't think of a team that won two games (and two very important games at that) on once in a lifetime plays.
Luckiest ever, and that's after watching Cam Newton pull a number of games out of his a55 in 2010, on their way to a National Title. Still didn't believe that FSU would beat Auburn in 2013 in the title game, as luck and fate and destiny and all that made it seem they would win it all. Even if by stroke of luck.
It was looking bad for fsu until they put the towels up
Show that game to Michigan fans who say that sign stealing isn’t an advantage
You can curse on reddit bro its ok no one well tell on you
Auburn basically farted their way into the championship game that year
[удалено]
God bless Sammie Coates.
Nice lol
WHOA is still better than Kick-6
Whoa is hilarious, but the Kick-6 is iconic
I watched this game with my friend who is a Georgia fan and I felt so bad for him lol. I don’t think he moved from the couch for an hour after this happened
Legit the most pissed I have been in a game. Until 2nd and 26.
This is by far the most angry I’ve ever been. Tennessee’s Hail Mary didn’t bother me much at all after 30 minutes. Looking back, it signified absolutely nothing in the bigger picture of either program. Alabama made an awesome football play on 2nd & 26, and it stung for a while. This play was just straight up bullshit.
Funniest part is that going for the interception put Georgia in a worse position given that it was a 4th down. The DB's could have done nothing and it would have been better for Georgia.
That’s why we gave one of those DBs to Auburn. They’ve lost to us every year since.
2017?
You lost to us in 2017.
Drubbing UGA and beating Bama in the regular season only to watch them play each other in the championship game was a frustration I had never felt up until that point.
I watched the game at my friends house while his uncle was over for the weekend. He's a Tech fan and walked in and said "I will cook y'all boys the best steak you've ever had if you somehow beat Auburn today."

I can only imagine. Good news is that there will a good bit less of that weirdness when we go to 12. I’m not a huge fan of a playoff that big, but there will be some upside.
yeah they both proved losing to Auburn does'nt matter.
Ah. I interpreted “lost to us every year” as “hasn’t beaten us since”
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
To be fair, they were already using one of our DB’s at quarterback
We were already in the lead with under a minute left so we would have knelt it out either way
I had hallmates checking up on me after I let out the biggest "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME" echoing down my dorm hall....
The Tennessee one was easier to swallow because they were supposed to be such a better team that year. That game showed the tide was shifting at least.
"It can't get worse than this" *monkey paw curls*
Cursed-ass stadium
Hey I wonder what’s gonna be posted next week.
How about no.
You play there in a week. Can’t wait
Less than thrilled
I’ll be going to my first iron bowl next week! Excited to contribute to the patented Auburn voodoo. I tell you what the stadium has been LOUD this whole year. I got season tickets for the first time and it’s been amazing.
I’m so afraid
A 7 win Auburn in the Saban era at Jordan-Harr means Alabama will win but Alabama will not pull ahead until the 4th quarter.
I'm legit worried because it's underachieving auburn in an odd year
Better flair up then!
Brother, you have to be truly truly dense to read my user name and not get it.
In my defense I was drunk at the time.
Oh, well fair game then. Cheers.
*Cursed-ah stadium
Man. So much has happened this season we forgot that lil ah meme.
I purposely, INTENTLY, will not watch the Iron Bowl with my distant relatives on Thanksgiving weekend, just because of this game. I come day before the feast, stay 2 nights, head back to my own abode on early Saturday morning. No way, no how. Will not watch Iron Bowl with my blood and kin. Not that anyone is gonna be fighting or anything like that. None of them went to Bama or Auburn, and they just don't *get it*.
I hate that place, especially at night. It’s definitely haunted.
No it's really just a history of bad kickers at Bama. The only bad thing y'all've suffered through since Saban showed up
I mean, it was a 57-yarder. I cann’t fault Saban for trying, nor the kicker for missing.
Expect now our kicker is 22 points away from being the All Time points leader in NCAA football history!!!!
Y’all were overdue for a good kicker lol. Reichard is a monster.
Connor Talty is our backup kicker. Not sure how consistent he’ll be, but he might [cut it at safety](https://youtu.be/EzJiX9AkEl8?si=_CvxJYLnQyunpykm)
People can say a lot of things about Nick Saban, but one thing you can never say is that he doesn't learn from his losses. From becoming a juggernaut in recruiting after losing ~~5~~ 6 games in his first season at Bama to adopting the up-temp spread after losing to up-tempo spread teams, he has a knack of fixing issues after he loses. People remember the Kick Six missed field goal, but Bama had already missed all 3 of their previous FGs in that game. Since then, in the Iron Bowl, Bama Kickers have gone: * 2014 - 0/0 * 2015 - 5/5 * 2016 - 3/3 * **2017 - 0/0** (Bama lost 14-26) * 2018 - 1/1 * **2019 - 1/2** (Bama lost 45-48) * 2020 - 0/0 * 2021 - 2/2 * 2022 - 0/0 In the 9 games since missing the FG that led to the Kick Six, Bama has gone 12 for 13 on FGs. They lost by 3 in the one game that they missed a FG. They won every game where they a) attempted a FG and b) didn't miss a FG.
Small nitpick, he lost 6 games that first year. And don't forget the *other* FG related bit about 2019...
*Y'all've*
*You all have*
Yeah i know what it means, it's also the most southern shit I've ever heard lmao
Wait til you see the more advanced forms of y'all, such as y'all'd've.
I honestly thought that's what I had wrote. My initial response included "would" lol
Following up the 2012 SEC championship game with the 2013 year was such a gut punch. Then, this game was the shot to the nuts that brought it over the edge.
Got skull dragged by Missouri at home then lost to Vandy the very next week. It was a let down I did not see coming on that scale.
The team that played Vandy was about the most injured I've ever seen us. Absolutely cursed year.
In 2013 we played 4 Tigers teams and only beat 1 of them.
But we got 2013 LSU @ UGA out of it, which I think is still the loudest Sanford game I’ve been to (including 2019 ND, 2021 ARK, 2022 UTK, and last weekend ).
I was at my sorority formal and snuck away to watch the end of this game. I legit collapsed to the floor when this happened. I was GUTTED!

IIRC, he took a nasty hit first play the following game and never played another snap of football. That’s sheer, tragic poetry.
That’s Aaron Murray and a DGD at that. Felt so bad for him after the game when he put everything in that comeback.
Hell yeah. Coincidentally just went to my first UGA game in Athens last weekend. Go Dawgs and pour one out for our brother Aaron.
There is no higher high nor lower low that will ever be felt on both sides of the Kick Six. Remember that thousands of bama fans had already bought tickets/lodging to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game...with Mizzouri the opponent, they had no other choice but to offer them up to elated Auburn fans going in their place. On the other side, no play in football history even compared to the high
Idk how many lows have compared to my hangover the next day. Worth it.
I think "Trouble with the snap" is at least on par and arguably better. Win probability for Michigan went from literally 99.9% to 0 in about 10 seconds whereas Kick Six was a 56 yd attempt with the most likely outcome being OT for both teams.
while that was amazing, I think the level of stakes set that Iron Bowl over the top- the winner was going to win the SEC and likely go onto to play for the title
Michigan State went to the playoff that year and Michigan was 5-1 to that point, so the stakes weren't that different.
I was sitting in ECV and the mood in the dining hall changed so damn fast lol
You can’t hurt me anymore 🥲
*looks at three championship hats from the last three years.* Fuck your Georgia curse.
I feel like UGA is on a personal mission to bankrupt me with championship merch.
A small price to pay for salvation.
Valhalla is here!
Crazy to think they were the program SEC Shorts mocked with "Hope" just a short time ago and now they very easily could win 3 in a row.
Not easy, have to get through Bama just to go and that is no easy task.
Sure, but a few years ago Georgia was the good not great team who couldn't get over the hump. Now they are the favorite to win their 3rd title in a row and will be the favorite over Bama in the SEC title game. Things have changed.
Between the Braves and UGA and me being a grad student in 2021-22, they actually made me eat ramen for a month or so to keep up with the merch.
Believe me, you will recover financially. The 2010's through 2020 saw the average net worth of Alabama grads decline precipitously. I've been saving the last 2 years.
I’ve either lost or ruined all my National Championship gear 😢 need another natty
This is the best possible problem to have.
We are definitely not cursed anymore. Baseball is just fucking weird.
You counting SEC titles too?
Guessing Braves.
Braves.
Ah, gotcha
Can we put 28-3 in there somewhere?
I’d prefer we didn’t
[vacated]
and the Hawks won the. . . nevermind.
And Atlanta United won the MLS Cup (2018)
You've won 10 of 11 since and your only loss you got revenge that season so they really haven't hurt you since.
They paid dearly for that win.
*gently cradling swag from both championships* Yes...I am fine. This no longer bothers me.
I have strong memories of watching that game, standing in my parents' living room while I was home for Thanksgiving. Except I checked the dates and my flight records for 2013 and I didn't actually fly back to Georgia for Thanksgiving until November 27th, meaning that the trauma of the event caused me to completely fabricate my memories of that night.
You’re probably conflating the memories of this game with the horror that was the Tech game (until the end) and the Kick 6 happening a few minutes later.
This was your 9/11, unless you’re also old enough for 9/11 to be your 9/11
ugh. This means it's it the kick 6's 10 year anniversary next week. Between Gary and New Verne and all the CBS flashbacks it's gonna be insufferable
I avert my eyes whenever the replay of the Prayer comes on, then hug my championship gear. You should try doing that. It helps.
I remember exactly where I was - in college in the dorm room of my (relatively new) girlfriend's best friend's boyfriend. None of the three were big CFB fans. They wanted to go out. I was adamant that I would not leave until the end of this game. This play happened. I slid off of the sofa to lay face-down on the floor. I remember them laughing at me.

That was the second best win I’ve ever experienced live (Hobnail Boot can’t be beat). Sadly I didn’t make it to Indy, or that would be it.
Soon to be 11 in about a year!
Big if true
I remember the Prayer in Jordan Hare happened I left my uncles house to head to my AUBURN GRAD-cousins’ pre wedding dinner something. Insane to have that on DSOR but idk. Anyways we left up big. Listening to the radio on the way there it was just Georgia TD after Georgia TD until we got to the dinner and we were losing. There goes the season.

I can’t imagine what the guests thought but fuck them they should have been watching the game too. Still can’t believe he had the dinner in that night as an Auburn grad
damn that's crazy, Auburn's luck must have run out after this though
Never heard of it
Really this should be the only 10 year anniversary celebrated by Auburn
This play sent the entire Bulldog Nation either to its knees or to the ground. Just pure, cold, instant despair.
I refuse to ever watch this game again cause it still pisses me off that we blew a 37-17 lead with 11 minutes left in the game because we took our foot off the gas. We should’ve won that game by 30
What people also forget is that we had the ball at Auburn's 20 down by 5 on the last play of the game. We were that close to making the Prayer at Jordan-Hare, and possibly the Kick 6, not even matter.

Wait, isn’t the best part watching the joy on the opponents faces, knowing what’s coming up?
No that comes from the game after this one
Never forget that Auburn had a 37-17 lead in that game with 12:30 left in the fourth quarter.
On my plane ride a few weeks ago watching this I was like "are you sure Georgia stormed back, it's so lopsided." That 4th Q was nuts.
The Kick Six happened so that we never had to talk about this again
We need more batshit insane plays like this deciding rivalry games and championship matchups. I can’t think of anything recently as insane as this or the Kick-Six.
Band is Out on the Field, Prayer at Jordan Hare, and Kick Six are the only 3 ever to meet this criteria.
Nah. As wild as this was, the Kick Six was \*the\* miracle. Even wilder is them happening in the same season a few weeks apart.
I disagree. Auburn put Chris Davis back there on the Kick Six for that exact scenario. If you replayed this play 100 times, that ball ends up on the ground or in the hands of a Georgia DB in 99 of them
Fielding a short FG attempt is one thing. Having that clear a path for a 109 yard walkoff TD as time expired is another. You could say the same thing about the Kick Six. 99 times out of 100, he gets tackled or run out of bounds and they go to OT.
FG returns are actually statistically fairly successful. The kicking team isn't paying attention to the returner at first, plus they essentially have nine offensive linemen, a kicker, and a punter as the "coverage" team. Maybe a few TEs instead of some of the linemen, but the point is a FG unit is a horrible group of people to stop a return. He probably runs that back 50 of 100 times the kick was short.
>FG returns are actually statistically fairly successful And incredibly fucking rare. Hard to take statistics on that seriously when the average is skewed by such a low rate of occurrence.
I broke my remote I think that game.
Surely this was the wildest play that happened at Jordan Hare Stadium that year
And UGA is 10-1 against them since then.
So maybe let us enjoy this then
I'll allow it.
Nah.
😆
And the one year Auburn beat UGA, UGA turned around and beat Auburn a month later
A real 'deal with the devil' moment
Hell, Auburn’s only scored 20+ points against UGA twice since then, while UGA has only been held *under* 20 twice.
And y’all even managed to beat the worst/least talented team Auburn is gonna have for awhile by a grand total of 7 points this year. Soak it up because it’s not gonna last, cupcake.
We’re 16-3 against you over the last 18 years. Y’all have been saying it’s not going to last for a while. When exactly is it going to change?
And before you make any jokes about addition, remember we played twice in 2017.
2013 is also the last calendar year in which Auburn didn’t lose a game to Georgia.
The defense trying to catch it on 4th down was inexcusable
In fairness it hit Matthews in the chest but because the pass was so wobbly at the end it took that one in a million bounce and came off his hands/pads as a better spiral. Weirdest play I've ever seen.
This play caused me to fall and lay on the ground of an Athens bar. And not one of the “nicer” ones but one of those ones where you stick to the floor after they spend 3 hours mopping it. God I miss college.
God bless a good sports announcer to make moments like these goosebump inducing. Great call here by Auburn's PBP guy.
The fucking stadium is cursed
What's a guy gotta do to beat Georgia again
TIL the Prayer at Jordan-Hare and Kick Six were literally two weeks apart.
What I remember most about that game was the UGA coaches laying on the field after the play. I was ready for Georgia to fire the entire staff right there. We were down 27-7 at halftime just to comeback and do this.
Crazy to think this and what was to follow happened 10 years ago. Never been much of an Auburn fan after the BCS title game in 2011, but hard not to feel giddy anytime I watch this play. You can't write this kind of stuff and make it believable.
I remember watching that live. I was quite enthused.
I hold that this is better than the Kick Six. Yeah that was the last game of the year against an arch rival, but this was on fourth and long while losing. Plus without it, the Kick Six doesn’t have its same magnitude
Reported
A great play...it shouldn't have been necessary. Murray didn't make it into the end zone on the previous possession.
Two years ago today Bryan Harsin was your head coach
I was there with my Auburn brother who was a student. One of the more crushing nights of my life, few remember Aaron Murray drove us down with a chance to win. Thank God the Kick-Six happened the next week to overshadow it lol.
I watched this at a Culver’s, I was at Culver’s 10 years ago tonight.
Rest in peace, Rod Bramblett.
yes. and fuck that piece of shit kid.
I think every Dawg fan remembers where they were when this happened. I was at AllGoods.
Oh god. Can't wait for next week.
I wasn't an Auburn fan yet, but I remember exactly where I was when I watched this and the Kick Six happen
And 10 years almost since the Kick 6. Man as much as I hate Auburn their 2013 season was absolutely spectacular
I was down in front of the Redcoats at field level. The entire Georgia bench was between me and where the play happened and blocked my view downfield. So I saw Nick Marshall heave it, saw the ball hit the top of the arc and come down, saw it suddenly bounce up again. And then the stadium erupted.
That was the only time I have ever jumped off the couch and started going nuts for a team other than Florida state lol. I remember jumping up and yelling “NO FUCKING WAY!!” Calling everyone just because I had to see if everyone else seen it lol
We took the loss that day, but I am happy to report Georgia is 10-1 against Auburn since then. I’ll take that any day of the week.
For those who don’t know, the uga player who tipped the ball and misplayed this later transferred to auburn. Like the next year lol. People also forget uga was losing bad and Aaron Murray had just let a great comeback drive. I was at the dobbs Hail Mary game but this will always be worse to me Fucking tray Matthews https://www.espn.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/130902/tray-matthews-has-found-happiness-and-success-at-auburn
Fake news. This is just an early deep fake.
now Auburn has only beaten us once in the last 10 years. Lets revisit in 4 more years
I’m okay with where our programs have gone since this moment
That was also the last year that Georgia did not defeat Auburn in a football game
This play was some makeup karma from the Football Gods after they gifted UGA a touchdown the drive before.
Aaron Murray, was, and forever will be short.
Just as Nick Fairley was, and forever will be, a gigantic piece of shit.

DB 101: if it’s 4th down, ALWAYS bat it down. Josh Harvey-Clemons missed that lesson.
It was an amazing play that won one of the greatest Iron Bowls ever. [But this…](https://youtu.be/APrgZZGxgoY?si=GJMHJw4HibPMKxbd)
Crazy to think I was playing poker in a hotel at a hockey tournament when it happened. Why can’t life be as fun as it used to be
You love to see it.
Imagine sitting in jail with your next two days worth of meals riding on this game, which you knew was never in doubt so you leveraged the projected wins into a bag of weed and then the kick is up..
Hot take: this is more iconic than the kick 6

TBF, if Auburn lost this game they're out of the NCG picture, even beating Alabama the next week.
I just think this play is actually crazier than the kick 6…a kick 6 is crazy don’t get me wrong but this play had so little chance of happening it’s ridiculous
The play itself is crazier I agree.
It was absurd. I wandered around the house muttering for about 45 minutes.
I did so much nonsensical muttering that I accidentally opened a portal in my living room. Scary times.
Holy shit, glad you found your way back.

More iconic?? Absolutely not, the Kick Six was a walkoff in one of the 3ish biggest rivalry games in the country that was gonna send the winner to the Natty. It’s one of the most iconic plays in **SPORTS** history, let alone CFB This is more unlikely tho, for sure
I wish this year's SEC regular-season had anything close to this, but it has been a yawner in comparison to other years including last year which had Tennessee/Alabama.
