If you were in Jordan Hare Stadium on the evening of November 16, 2013 then you experienced the true feeling of a prayer answered.
Fall 2013 was the first semester of my sophomore year at Auburn. The Tigers were returning with a new head coach and quarterback after an abysmal 3-9 season shrouded in controversy. Tensions were extremely high on the plains back in those days. That spring SGA had a board on the concourse that they invited students to leave comments on. Most comments read, “FIRE JAY JACOBS.”
As students we had no idea what to expect heading into 2013, but our curiosity was piqued when we witnessed Nick Marshall hit CJ Uzomah for the game winning touchdown with ten seconds remaining against Mississippi State.
