re: Auburn without Cam Newton

It was so hard for opposing teams to come up with a defensive gameplan.

It took an act of god for Auburn to beat Alabama.. by the time that game came around, Alabama had the perfect defensive play calling in place to stop everything Auburn had done to that point.. Replace Cam with any other QB that didn't show you their hand before playing - that game would have played out COMPLETELY different. For better or for worst.. I don't know?

As for the defense - the defense would have played different, because they would have gotten onto the field faster - or slower, because of the plays we would have had with a more pass oriented QB.. would it have slowed down the clock more.. or sped it up!?! Who knows? If Fairly had a little more time to rest, would he have been more explosive.. what if the DBs had less time to rest - but the opposing QBs did as well.

That's my whole point, with a different offense comes a different defense as well.. and changes the way the other offense and defense have to run their plays. It's ignorant to "take away a player from a NC team", it's just stupid talk, and is only "worried about or discussed" by people who are insecure about their own team.. plain and simple.
