A&M can't say jack about a miracle when they were getting gashed every bit as badly as we were the entire game. Make some plays on defense and maybe you win. Quit bitching because your moronic QB made numerous mistakes, as he is prone to do, and we capitalized.

Disagree on the LSU game. Agree on the Georgia game. I actually agree on the Bama game. That was just a good play that Alabama was not prepared for, and Bama didn't execute down the stretch to put the game away. The UGA game was pure black magic, fluky, stupid, 1 in a million, luck.

Then I guess he was better this year than previous.

Sometimes that happens as you practice and progress.

Also, the figures you mentioned above are all >>>>>0

Marshall threw a 1st down (or was it a TD?) pass to himself in our game. That was pretty miraculous.

***Regarding the "miracle play" against Alabama, what happened within the play that should be considered a miracle? Gus Malzahn called a timeout, not to ice the kicker, but to put Chris Davis back deep (instead of Ryan Smith) because he saw Alabama's personnel on the field. Alabama had a bunch of offensive/defensive linemen, Cody Mandell, Adrian Hubbard, etc... And Gus Malzahn knew he had a competitive advantage at that time. That's what happened. No miracle. Auburn had athletes (linebackers, defensive backs, etc) on the field.



That's makes me laugh about people saying it was a miracle at the end or luck. The luckiest play in the entire Iron Bowl was a 99 yard pass play from Alabama due to piss poor coverage.

I agree with you but I don't see the point.

He's mad, because some of us thing that AU got lucky along the way, and in a case or two, needed a miracle to win.

AU fans are also mad, because some of us have the audacity to think that a heavily favored FSU team will win.

The only thing remotely lucky about the missed field goal return for a touchdown is that your coach was dumb enough to try it and that it came down short enough for us to return it. The rest was poor preperation on Bama's part and excellent execution on Auburn's part.

If Auburn had a 99 yard touchdown play from scrimmage against Alabama it would have been considered dumb luck but you think because your team is somehow god mode that a 99 yard touchdown pass isn't luck.

Most of the country knows Auburn caught a few breaks toward the end of the year

Just accept it and stop embarrassing yourself

While I do agree you only had one true blind dumb luck, horseshoe up your arse miracle..without that play you don't win the west, don't win the sec, and with 2 losses are maybe looking at the citrus bowl.

So your season is basically a miracle as it stands now to where it would be without that gift.

That's still more luck than what was required on Bama's 99 yarder.

Bama got "lucky" that AU sucked in pass coverage on that play? Guess what........... AU sucks in pass coverage ALL THE TIME.

Jesus, some of you are flat out fricking stupid.

He isn't prone to players illegally making tackles and not getting penalized. Auburn got lucky. It doesn't diminish the win, it was just lucky.

Que?

To actually add to the discussion, almost every team that gets into the title game has some luck/close calls. It's not like this is a new thing.
