Ep 45: 2013 CFB - #25 Georgia @ #7 Auburn


Listen Later

The "Deep South's Oldest Rivalry' will be renewed once again this week so we thought it would be a perfect time to go back seven years to one of the most unlikely Hail Mary plays we've ever witnessed in college football. 

The setting was Jordan-Hare Stadium on the campus of Auburn University during the 2013 college football season. The Georgia Bulldogs traveled to the plains featuring the dynamic backfield of Aaron Murray and Todd Gurley while the Auburn Tigers were making magic in year one under Gus Malzahn. 

With SEC Championship and BCS Championship implications on the line, all eyes were watching this CBS afternoon broadcast expecting a slugfest.

What we got was much more. This could be one of the great SEC games of all-time with everything that happened over the course of 60 minutes. But it will all be remembered by a Nick Marshall pass to Ricardo Louis that got deflected and fell right into his hands for a 73-yard game-winning touchdown. 

Join us as we go through this game again and talk about everything that happened in this 2013 classic, including: 

  • Malzahn's first season bringing Auburn back from disaster
  • Nick Marshall's path to get to Auburn
  • SEC standings heading into this week
  • Just how good was Aaron Murray?
  • The Tigers perfect start to the game
  • Mark Richt personal foul penalty
  • Georgia with a comeback for the ages
  • The stupidest play in college football
  • How this game impacted the rest of the season
  • Is Gus Malzahn still at Auburn without this win?
  • Does Alabama three-peat if the Tigers lose to Georgia?

There's so much to talk about and so much we forgot about with this rivalry game.
