Sitting 2 yards outside the end zone with one second left in the game and trailing Alabama by 3, Gus Malzahn calls his last timeout and kneels to pray.
"Lord, I need guidance. I can tie the game and go into overtime. Should I kick the field goal?"
Never having gotten a response any other time he prayed, he was shocked when suddenly the booming voice of God answered "Run the ball to the left. Don't kick that field goal."
Taking this as a sign that Auburn is a team of destiny, he calls the play. It is a nice clean snap and hand-off to the running back who is quickly swamped under by five Crimson jerseys for a 5 yards loss.
As Rammer Jammer plays in the background , Malzahn looks up to the sky and screams "Why Lord? Why did you tell me to run the ball?"
The Lord answers, "I don't know. Bear, why did we tell him to do that?"
