With Mississippi State trailing the Auburn Tigers in his senior season, Bulldogs quarterback Matt Wyatt created a memory he will never forget. But for Wyatt, who now is the team’s color analyst on the Mississippi State Radio Network, the winning 11-yard pass to Matt Butler isn’t the memory he holds onto from that game in 1999.
It was the pass to his dad, Joe, that brings a smile to Matt’s face.
“My dad was sitting about 25 rows up in the State section, and after we took a knee and won, I ran over to his section and threw him the game ball,” Wyatt said on his Facebook page.
