The Prayer at Jordan–Hare refers to a college football game between Auburn and Georgia and more specifically to the game-winning Hail Mary pass. The play occurred on November 16, 2013 at Jordan-Hare Stadium as the home team No. 7 ranked Auburn hosted No. 25 ranked Georgia in the 117th meeting of what is known as the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. Down 38–37 with 36 seconds remaining in the game, Auburn faced 4th down and 18 yards to go when junior quarterback Nick Marshall threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Ricardo Louis. The pass was tipped by Georgia's sophomore safety Josh Harvey-Clemons. The pass would have been overthrown had Harvey-Clemons not deflected the football and Louis was unable to find the ball after the deflection until a moment before it landed in his hands. The score allowed Auburn to win the game 43–38 and break the tie in the all-time series. ==Name== As teammates sprinted to congratulate Ricardo Louis in the end zone, Auburn IMG Sports Network commentator Rod Bramblett exclaimed "A miracle in Jordan-Hare! A miracle in Jordan-Hare!" in utter jubilation, his voice carried across the nation on radio stations broadcasting the game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Auburn Radio vs. Georgia Radio - The Immaculate Deflection )〕 Within four days, T-shirts were being sold with Bramblett's words "Miracle at Jordan-Hare" printed across the top. Other sources modified the phrase, ''The War Eagle Reader'' dubbing the moment "The Miracle in Jordan-Hare," ''The Gadsden Times'' proclaiming the play "Marshall's Miracle" and ''USA Today'' pitching several titles including "The Marshall Miracle." On the same day, at 10:44 p.m. CST, a story entitled "The Prayer at Jordan-Hare! Auburn wins 43–38!" was posted to the website of Huntsville's NBC affiliate WAFF. Within days the title had been replicated or simultaneously concocted by writers with ''The Birmingham News'', ''USA Today'', The ''Montgomery Advertiser'', WRBL in Columbus, Georgia and Fox Sports among many others. The phrase gained popularity among Auburn fans, the slogan incorporating their stadium with a catchy rhyme and the phrase seemingly intertwined with the 1986 Bon Jovi hit "Livin' on a Prayer," a popular anthem played at Auburn football games. Many titles sprung forth over the following week including "The Hail Aubie" in reference to the name of Auburn's mascot tiger, "The Saint Louis Arch" fusing the receiver's surname with the arc-like path of Marshall's throw as a pun on the famous landmark arch in St. Louis, "Tip to the Lou" as an alteration of the children's song "Skip to My Lou" and "The Inaccurate Reception" as a modification of the renowned "Immaculate Reception" in the 1972 AFC semifinals. The website AL.com posted an online poll to allow fans to vote on the above titles, adding "Tip, Georgia, Tip" as a takeoff of the legendary game Punt Bama Punt, "Dawg Gone Miracle" as the victory came against the Bulldogs, "Nick of Time" using Marshall's first name, "The Miracle on the Plains" as the nickname for Auburn, Alabama is "The Loveliest Village On The Plains" penned by poet Oliver Goldsmith and "The Miracu-Louis Reception." The poll included another frequently published title "The Immaculate Deflection," in fact one of the three most popular in the voting results along with "Tip to the Lou" and "The Prayer at Jordan-Hare." The title was even printed on shirts and posters by various companies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Immaculate Deflection )〕 But another SEC game had already coined that term, the 1983 matchup between Ole Miss and Mississippi State in which a 40 mph wind deflected Mississippi State's game-winning field goal inches from passing through the uprights with seconds remaining in the game. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prayer at Jordan–Hare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
