AUBURN, Ala. – There were 36 seconds left. Auburn was facing a fourth-and-18 from its own 27-yard line trailing by one. Quarterback Nick Marshall dropped back and launched a deep pass into triple coverage. Playing his zone, Georgia safety Tray Matthews was in prime position to intercept the pass and end the game, effectively ending Auburn’s dream season.
The only problem was that Matthews’ teammate Josh Harvey-Clemons was also going for the pick. He deflected the ball away from Matthews and into the hands of Auburn wide receiver Ricardo Louis who took it across the goal line for the game-winning touchdown.
