Auburn Film School: Michael Dyer Gives Auburn a National Championship, For a Minute

Everyone remembers Dyer rolling over a defender. Everyone remembers Byrum's kick to win it. What about the play that made Byrum's winner a chip shot?

The 2010 season had dozens of plays that helped take the team to a national championship. Cam Newton's Heisman moment and Onterrio McCalebb's go-ahead touchdown against LSU. Antonio Coleman's hustle play to force a fumble and start the "Camback". Josh Bynes's late interceptions to turn a nail-biter into a 22-point win against Arkansas, etc etc. But there's one play that I don't think gets the attention it deserves.

The Setup

Auburn's game-winning drive against Oregon is mostly remembered for one specific run by Michael Dyer.
