Ricardo Louis, Paul Finebaum, Gary Danielson and Brandon Marcello all reminisce about one of Auburn's most famous plays.
Before he’d find his way onto the field during a timeout or tell Nick Marshall to throw to him or, for some reason he still doesn’t know, just keep running until the ball miraculously fell into his hands, Ricardo Louis was at the beach where it all started about eight months prior in Panama City Beach, Florida.had gone 3-9 that past fall, Louis’ freshman year. Louis said he was walking off the beach wearing Auburn gear. Coming the other way, were a few Georgia players he recognized.
Marshall had been sacked on third down, which forced Auburn to call timeout. Louis wasn’t on the field for during that third down. With time ticking, if not for Auburn having to stop the clock, he wouldn’t have gotten on the field. “When I was a kid, I would take a towel wrapped around my neck and just imagine being a superhero,” Louis said. “It is a childhood dream, it definitely is. To be a hero, to be considered a hero.”As soon as Marshall let go of the ball, Gary Danielson thought the pass would be intercepted. Louis had seemed to slow down, he said. Why in the world did that pass not get thrown to Sammie Coates?Danielson was on the call for that memorable game for CBS along with Verne Lundquist.
There’s a debate over who had the phrase first. Former Birmingham News/AL.com writer Brandon Marcello claims it was a Kevin Scarbinsky column. There was a sense of shock in Auburn’s press box, then located at the 50-yard line in Jordan-Hare Stadium and not behind the southern endzone like now. it was such a stunning moment that Marcello remembers formerThe Auburn in the coaches’ booths next door were pounding on the walls in celebration, Marcello remembers.
He was trying to watch the game, but as he landed in Charlotte with a quick change to his Birmingham flight, Finebaum couldn’t find the game at the airport.
