Dyer steals show on biggest stage
latest news update,Dyer steals show on biggest stage;Michael Dyer could have been remembered for breaking Bo Jackson’s freshman rushing record at Auburn, or for winning a national championship a few short years after turning his life around in high school at Little Rock (Ark.) Christian Academy.Those are footnotes now. Dyer forever will have “The Run.”
“I came here to Auburn to play football and make something happen,” Dyer said. “I didn’t expect it this quick. But shoes fit.”
While Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton was the primary offensive force for Auburn’s run to the title, it was Dyer, a true freshman, who ran off — in unusual fashion — with the Offensive Player of the Game honors in Monday night’s BCS Championship Game at University of Phoenix Stadium.
When Dyer managed to keep his balance and roll off a tackle by Oregon safety Eddie Pleasant, he turned a 6-yard gain into a 37-yarder to put Auburn in field goal range at the Ducks’ 23-yard line with 1:56 remaining. A similar run three plays later put the ball within 18 inches from the goal line to set up Wes Byrum’s point-blank field goal for a 23-20 victory, as the top-ranked Tigers became the fifth straight Southeastern Conference team to win the BCS title.
“He’s a stud, you know,” Auburn H-back Philip Lutzenkirchen said. “I told Bo he better watch out for some of his records. Michael is going to have a great career here. He is going to be the next big thing.”
