Cameron Newton's Coming Out Party
This week Cam Newton sits atop the list of Heisman candidates in my eyes after leading his team to a win against 6th ranked LSU on Saturday afternoon. Auburn is the real deal and Cam Newton has given the nation a reason to watch the Tigers. After their win on Saturday, Auburn leapfrogged both Oregon and idle Boise State to take over the top spot in the new BCS Standings. Their performance against a stellar LSU defense left voters and the computers impressed, while also becoming one of 7 unbeaten teams left in the nation. One main reason for Auburn's success stems from the outstanding play of their quarterback and freakish athlete Cameron Newton. Newton left his mark on this game by establishing his physical presence and rushing for 217 yards on the ground. He converted two of his attempts for touchdowns, and it became evident that he had the advantage over a previously stout LSU rush defense. Newton currently has taken the step above other Heisman candidates with his performances in key games. With their win this week, Auburn now controls their own destiny as the only undefeated team in the SEC. A favorable schedule seems to be at hand, with the regular season finale coming on the road at Alabama. If Auburn can run the table, their sites should be set on the National Championship, and Cameron Newton should be considered the best player in college football. The battle of the unbeatens at Jordan-Hare Stadium left us with two clear results: Cameron Newton as the Heisman front runner and Auburn as the best team in the country.
