Already 10 years since that title barners, time flies. Hope you're all looking forward to another 40 years without one, as is Auburn tradition.

Yes. Auburn goes 50 years in between national titles. Any other questions?

Confirming my statement, thanks for keeping the majority of those remaining brain cells occupied with your important things like Auburn...

No he didn't. He beat Alabama with Mac Jones who had absolutely no experience. Mac proceeded to gift wrap the game for Auburn. He also faced a Bama defense devastated by injuries.

We all saw what happened this season when those things weren't the case. Auburn taken to the woodshed and beaten mercilessly.

Yes I know, Auburn goes 50 years in between national titles. What was your point again? Right you didn't have one. Those hard to swallow pills I dish out have you upset

My personal opinion. He might not be as impressive statistically but I think he carried his team more.


When you look at the rest of that 2010 AU team, it’s remarkable that they were able to win a championship that year. Outside of Cam, they didn’t have the kind of talent we’ve seen on other championship teams from the SEC. They weren’t laden with future NFL players and Gene Chizik was the coach... Cam carried his team and half the linebackers in the SEC that season.

They got lucky as frick all season. Miraculous break after miraculous break. An oblong ball rolling in a straight line 30 yards to and out of the endzone for example

Burrow doesn't have Cam's sense of fashion.

I was at the game and remember it well. Lucky play or not, they won that game, went undefeated, and won a championship based almost solely on the talent of Cam Newton.

Any other excuses on your list, buddy?

Cam was crazy good. My feeling were hurt after Auburn won the National title knowing State was a better team overall.
Especially, after Cecil was quoted that Cam wanted to play at MSU, but didn’t want him to be a rented mule.

The SEC west in 2010 was better than the SEC west the last two years.

MSU finished 5th in the West and was 15th in the final polls.

He certainly had less talent around him. Dude was dominant.

Cam would have won with 2019 LSU and 2020 Bama but you can’t say the same for 2010 Auburn with Burrow or Jones


Cam was a better a.athlete than Joe and certainly Mac, but I don’t know that he would have run the 2019/2020 LSU/Bama offenses. He was never an overly accurate passer Or defense reader, though he did have a really good deep ball. He would have excelled with either teams talent, but I doubt he would’ve been anywhere near either guy’s passing stats.

Sark and Brady/Esminger would've done some nasty creative things with Cam at QB

ETA: Slot triple option with Najee/Waddle would be pretty deadly
