Disagree.

Jason Campbell>Matt Leinart and it's really not close

Campbell. 10 years in the league. 16,771 yards 87 TD 60 INT, QBR 81.7

Leinart . 8 years 4065 yards 15 TD 21 INT, 70 QBR


As for RB, Reggie Bush is only a flashier and healthier Cadilliac and Ronnie is worlds better than White.

NFL Stats:

Reggie Bush- 5493 rushing yards, 35 rushing TD. 470 receptions, 3508 receiving yards, 18 receiving TD

Lendale White- 2349 rushing yards, 24 rushing TD

Ronnie Brown- 1 Pro Bowl, 5391 rushing yards, 38 rushing TD.

Cadillac- ROY, 4038 rushing yards 21 rushing TD

ETA: also, Auburn has a huge advantage in depth at both positions. USC had nobody of note behind any of the 3 above mentioned players. AU had Brandon Cox at QB and at RB Brad Lester, Tre Smith, and Kenny Irons

2004 Auburn would have at least competed with 2004 USC.

We had everything we needed to win a game against them. We had SEC speed to handle Bush. We had tremendous pass rushers. The best cornerback in the country. A hard hitting safety. A future pro bowler at defensive tackle.

Perhaps USC could have shut down our offense, but I think Campbell would have been given great field position thanks to our defense.

2004 Auburn vs. 2010 Auburn, I'd like to go 2004 Auburn. I sincerely think they were the better team, but you can't bet against Cam Newton.

This isn't the nfl. Leinart was better than Campbell. And Bush is possibly the best college back I've ever seen.

If you are comparing teams based on NFL stats, I bet in 10 years you'll wonder how Florida State in 2013 didn't beat Auburn by 50 and mercy kneel in the 3rd quarter
