Cam Newton-Heisman

On December 11th, 2010 Cam Newton became one of the greatest quarterbacks in College Football history. He won the prestigious Heisman award in a land slide. No one doubted that Cam would win this award but the real question is will he be able to keep it? He won the award over Andrew Luck of Stanford, Kellen Moore of Boise State, and LaMichael James of Oregon. Newton has had much of the media around him speculating that his father, Cecil Newton got money for Cam's acceptance in to Auburn. Newton received 729 first place votes but sadly 105 voters left him out of there top three. Newton led the way with 2,263 points while Andrew Luck was the closest with 1,079. The NCAA gave Cecil Newton very limited access to Cam and Auburn while the investigation goes on. Cam Newton in my mind is the best football player in the entire nation and deserved this award with no doubt, if his father did do something wrong Cam should not be blamed or in trouble. He had no idea his father was doing such an act. Newton and Auburn will play for this years National title. But as many know the winner of the Heisman have a very hard time in Championship game. If Newton decides to leave after this year to join the NFL he will be a first or second round and pick and could go down as one of the best players to ever play college ball. The intended audience is college sports fans. This article sheds light on Cam Newton and how all his work has payed off. The article purpose is to show how much Cam Newton deserved this prestigious award.

The Big Game

Oregon v. Auburn, wow this will be a shoot out. Heisman leading candidate, Cam Newton against one of the nation's best defenses. Oregon's high scoring offense versus Auburn top five defense. It is the first time Auburn and Oregon are playing in the big dance. The decision making was today for who would play in all of the bowl games this year. Auburn is ranked the number one team in the nation but Oregon is not far behind. TCU finished a second straight regular season undefeated but again missed out on the National Championship game. They will play Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl while Ohio State will play Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl. On Saturday both Auburn and Oregon finished there regular season undeafted both winning there respected conferences. Auburn defeated South Carolina by blowing them out by double digits. Oregon beat rival Oregon State. These two offenses are two of the strongest teams I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. I think that this game and the rest of the bowl games can make this year a special year. Oregon v. Auburn should be a high scoring game and can show to be the first to make a decision may be the loser. The purpose of this article is to show how Auburn and Oregon are the two best teams in the nation and to show who is playing for the other bowl games this year. The attended auidence is college football fans and die hard college alumni. Iv never been so ecxited to watch such a high powered football game. This will go down as one of the best ever.
