bruh. even AUBURN fans refer to the Georgia win as the "Prayer in Jordan Hare". ESPN did a documentary called "Miracles on the Plains". Not "Above Average Luck on the Plains". Miracles on the Plains.

Gus just made fantastic coaching decisions

Which coaching decision did he make to create the result of the Prayer at Jordan Hare? The underneath receiver was WIDE open and would have had the 1st down. Marshall made a poor decision to go deep into double coverage and was the beneficiary of poor D. If Marshall had done what Gus' coaching designed the play to do, AU would have had the first down for sure, but the TD would have taken more work.
Look at the guy at the 50 at about the 12 second mark. WIDE open = first down on the 4th & 18 play...Marshall throws into triple coverage instead and it results in a TD. That's not "above average luck"

As for the Kick Six, that will go down as one of the greatest plays in CFB history. That said, only FOUR times since 1950 has a missed FG been returned for a TD in CFB. Only ONCE has it happened on the final play of the game. That play was the Kick Six. 100+ teams playing 12+ games per year for 60+ years = 72,000+ games. The Kick Six has happened once in 72,000 opportunities. That is certainly NOT "above average" luck.
