On January 10, 2011, the Oregon Ducks faced the Auburn Tigers in their first national championship game appearance in school history. We all know how that story ends.
The Ducks march down the field. LaMichael James runs into the end zone for a touchdown, setting up an extraordinary leaping grab by Jeff Maehl to tie the game and likely send it into overtime. Auburn takes over with 2:33 to play. On the second play of the drive, Michael Dyer is seemingly wrapped up for a tackle and everyone, even Dyer himself, stops running. After realizing the play wasn't over, Dyer took off down the field into Oregon territory, and the rest was history.
