The Perfect Season
Auburn and Cam Newton completed the undefeated season last night. Auburn beat Oregon in the National Championship Game and wow what a game it was. Everybody in the world thought the game would be a high scoring, back and forth battle between two great offensives and it was anything but. It was a defensive battle and Auburn won the battle. There were fumbles, interceptions, and even a safety. It was everything a sports fan wanted in a football game.
Auburns defense held the best running game in college football to only 75 yards. The Heisman Finalist, LaMichael James only ran for 49 yards on 13 carries but he did have two receiving touchdowns. Nick Fairley and the defensive line shut down Oregon’s offense. Nick Fairley looked unstoppable. He had 5 tackles for a loss of yards and 1 sack. Fairley won ended up winning the Defensive Player of the Game and no one else deserved it but him.
And then there is Cam Newton. He put all controversy with his dad behind him and won the game. His father wasn’t even allowed to come to the game but people know he was thinking about his father when he was holding up the championship trophy. Newton called his own number when it was a 3rd down and he ran for the first down. Cam Newton won the Heisman Trophy because he had an amazing year and he took his team to the promise land. Newton will mostly declare for the NFL draft. With his year he will go middle or late 1st round. He reminds me of a Vince Young but Newton is a better running the Young. Players like Cam Newton are always unpredictable in the NFL. Some fail. Some succeed. Only time will tell what Cam Newton’s legacy will really be.
