Auburn Reaffirms my Consistent use of the Hail Mary in Video Games, beats Georgia

After blowing a 27-7 lead, Auburn made a last ditch hail mary attempt on 4th and 18 with :25 seconds remaining on the clock. First things first, watch the video.

How many deaths via heart attack do you think this play caused?  At least two in the stadium alone.

I both hate and love these plays. I love it because Auburn’s dream of an SEC championship remains alive and because it encompasses everything the game means in one play.  I hate it because it was a catch off a tip, a one in a hundred type play that you draw up at the end of a long practice (“Throw it four yards too short and hope the defender bats it up instead of down!”) and is essentially an 80-20 split on luck and skill.
