AUBURN – Auburn tailback Mike Dyer has been suspended for the Tigers’ Chick-fil-A Bowl game with Virginia because of an undisclosed violation of team rules.
Dyer, a sophomore, has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons for the Tigers.
Auburn officials confirmed the suspension Sunday that was first reported by AuburnUndercover.com, AuburnSports.com and the Birmingham News, but offered no elaboration.
Last week, Dyer was selected first-team All-SEC by both the league’s coaches and the Associated Press.
Dyer rushed for 1,242 yards this season, second in the SEC behind Heisman candidate Trent Richardson of Alabama.
Auburn (7-5) plays Virginia (8-4) at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 31 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
