The Auburn Tigers defeat the Oregon Ducks 22-19; for the 2011 Tostitos BCS National Championship! I must give credit where credit is due. Despite all of the controversy the Auburn Tigers have been through this year, they still maintained focus. Media outlets throughout the sports world tried their best to scandalize Cam Newton and the Auburn program, but head coach Gene Chizik and staff kept their eyes on the prize.
Auburns' defensive front; led by Nick Fairley, dominated the line of scrimmage for 4 quarters. Fairley led the Auburn defense with 5 tackles for loss, and 1 sack. True freshmen Michael Dyer rushed for 143 yards and kicker Wes Byrum sealed the deal with a game-winning field goal, that broke a 19-19 tie in the fourth quarter.
Being a Georgia Bulldog fan; I must say that I envy those Auburn Tigers. They played a grueling schedule in the SEC and despite a 37 day wait. The Auburn Tigers came to Arizona and shut down the highest scoring offense in college football.
"What did you expect from the "toughest" conference in college football !?"
