But as someone else said, if Aaron Murry wasnt just handed a TD that wasnt a TD the prayer at JH wouldnt have been required.
Don’t let those other auburn guys fool you. The stop on Murray required a face mask that went uncalled, which means it was should have been 1st and goal on the 1.

We are going to need a link.

How the hell would you know? Nobody could see a damn thing on that play. Murray went into a mass of humanity and the ref stuck his arms up. Replay after replay could not show if he got in or not.Posted on 7/14/19 at 7:08 am to texastiger15
2013 Auburn wasn't lucky IMHO, they just peaked at the right time. Their schedule also lined up very favorably.

None showed in. One showed not.

We always have the best schedule.

The luck part of the kick 6 game was the 2 penalties called on Bama that would have sealed the game and the no call on illegal man downfield on aubs last td. There was no way Bama was leaving with a win that day.
They won the state game on the same no call.
Peculiar thing is, the same crew called aub and Texas a&m that same season. I remember a pretty blatant no call on the last play of that game that would have put a&m in fg range.
However, breaks are part of it.
The delusion is strong within this one...at least you follow standard protocol.

i will say this the 2013 AU season may have been the most exciting, mentally exhausting, endorphin laden season any organized sports fanbase has ever experienced.

Ok buddy. Not every field goal is kicked directly at a defender waiting in the end zone.
Ok, now that's some funny shite right there. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that if you put a defender under the goal posts, it will be kicked directly at him 98% of the time.
Now if Davis had been standing by a corner pylon and it was kickd directly to him, that would have been luck.

Bama deserves an honorable mention for 4th and 25.

Auburn was even luckier yet in 2010.
vs Miss. St - 3 pt win
vs Clemson - field goal in overtime for the win
Kentucky - field goal with 0 time on the clock for win
vs Alabama - 1 pt win in the most bizarre game ever (note below)
vs Oregon - field goal with 0 time on the clock for win
In the Alabama game, Ingram was running for a td with no one between him and the endzone. An Auburn player behind Ingram desperately punches the ball out of Ingram's hands, and the ball bounces straight down the sideline for 20 or more yards, then continues out of the back of the endzone. One of the weirdest plays I've even seen.
Later, Alabama is on about the 3 yard line, about to punch in another td and McElroy fumbles the ball. He can't find the ball and 2 Alabama linemen stand nearly over it, unaware. Finally an Auburn d lineman runs around the 2 UA guys and falls on the ball.
Even a field goal either of those 2 times would have made the difference in the 1 point game.

As has been stated any good season has some breaks in it, but that isn't luck.
In bold above...none are examples of luck. In reverse order Fairley manhandled your OL and caused the fumble. You admit as such on Ingram's fumble, when the Auburn player made the play.
Oregon...did it ever feel like Auburn wasn't going to win?
bama...when Auburn took the lead it felt like the breaks bama got early finally balanced out
Kentucky...see the Oregon quote
Clemson...caught the breaks we needed in a game we dominated statistically but barely won
Miss St...Auburn never trailed in the entire game and missed a bonus FG with 4 minutes to go. One of Miss St. TD's was after Auburn caused a fumble and a Miss St. player covered it in the end zone. One might call that luck, but it was actually a Miss St. kid making a play when the ball was on the ground.

You also left out when TR3 inexplicably drops an easy short toss from McElroy in the endzone that ultimately cost Bama 4 points.

Alabama could and probably should have been up 35-0 before Auburn scored its first touchdown in the second quarter. Not only that...but we left another 3-7 points off the board with McElroy's fumble at the goal line.
shite just happened but the way we played in the first half, the score should have been 38-7 or 42-7 at the break.
At the very least, if Richardson doesn't drop that easy TD, Alabama is up 28-7 going into the locker room. Alabama likely wins the game with that TD reception.

It’s unchallengeable that Auburn is the luckiest team, on the field, in the history of CFB. If you need the breaks to go your way on one play to beat your biggest rival, put them out there and it’s probably going to happen. Those who don’t admit it are just lying to themselves.
I’m comfortable admitting that Alabama is, generally, the luckiest team off the field in CFB history. If you need some weird randomness to happen somewhere in the nation in order to get your team into a championship slot, turn them into Alabama for one Saturday and you’ll probably get it. From Iowa State to 4th and 25 to so on and so forth, it’s more remarkable when Bama doesn’t get the breaks (1966, 1977) than when they do.

Everything that was listed sounded to me like Auburn made plays at the right time to win the game while the other team didn't. As you say, getting breaks are always a factor throughout the game in close games, but it isn't just blind luck.

Referring to it as luck IMO is intellectually lazy. Anybody could go back through any season and find 10-20 plays that could have gone differently and changed the view of the entire season. The same could be said for a lot of 9-4...10-3 type seasons.
