Cam Newton has gotten a bit heavier since his last game against South Carolina.
Not in body weight, of course, but in all of the hardware he picked up during Awards Week.
The Heisman Winner comes into tonights game as one of the most decorated quarterbacks in College Football History. But he still has one more game to worry about before he can set all of those trophy's out on the mantle.
Auburn comes into tonight's BCS National Championship as the Number 1 ranked team in America, but they're lining up across from what might be the most complete team in College Football history.
Cue The Flashback
Vince Young came into the 2005 National Championship against Southern Cal as what many considered a "One Man Team"
During the game, Vince Young slowly began to take over. By the time the final horn sounded, he was lifting the trophy and conducting the Longhorn Marching Band, and would soon learn how to throw a football with a boulder of a National Championship ring on his finger.
Tonight, Cam Newton comes in with that same "One Man Team" attitude. It's different from a Kobe Bryant type feel, as everything in football runs through the quarterback. Instead, Newton just performs better than any other quarterback in the nation in just about every aspect of the game. Whether it's running, passing, or just being a leader, Newton has taken over the Auburn Tiger football team, and it's gotten them pretty far.
But the old idea of Teamwork can't go without mention. Oregon has dismantled just about every opponent this year, whether it's striking on the ground, through the air, or in any special team situation. Oregon combines speed with brilliance, and portrays one of the best shows ever seen on turf.
Tonight, it will come down to who can do it longer. With Oregon's preparation and physical ability, I can see them simply outrunning the Tigers. However, if it was only based on the facts, then what's the point in playing the game?
Sit down and relax as you watch what I believe will be one of the greatest games to have ever be played in College Football. Set the tivo and heat up the hot chocolate and popcorn, and prepare to rewind as you scream "NO WAY, DID YOU SEE THAT?!"
That's all I've got for tonight, Go Ducks!
