Former Auburn running back Bo Jackson was one of countless people featured in 'Mighty: The Life and Legacy of Pat Dye' documentary that aired Monday night.
When Jackson returned home from school and his ensuing baseball practice, he wasn’t shocked to see two strangers talking with his mother at the table.
Unfazed by the sight, Jackson continued downstairs to throw his dirty baseball uniform in the wash so that it was ready and clean for his game the following day.“The gentleman walks up to me and calls me Vincent at the time,” recalls Jackson, whose legal first name is Vincent. “He said, ‘Vincent, my name is Pat Dye.’ It was the first time I’d ever heard the name. He said, ‘I’m the new head coach at Auburn.’.
“And I put my hand out to shake his hand and I said, ‘I’m coming to Auburn next year.’,” Jackson said.Wake Forest on Sept. 11, 1982 in a performance that saw the rookie rush for 123 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries as the Tigers went on to beat the Demon Deacons 28-10.
