NCAA Football – Cam Newton wins 2010 Heisman Trophy

Cameron Jerrell Newton has had an impressive season. He has been able to leave behind the scandal and the alleged accusations following his arrival at Auburn and has focused on bringing on his A-game. At the beginning of the season, when Newton arrived to Auburn, rumor has it, the coaches warned their defensive players not to tackle Newton during the preseason training. Little did they now that no other defense could or would get to him either.

He sure is Auburn’s third Heisman Trophy Winner, but it seems that he was just taking a walk in the park, as he kept on bringing in school and conference records to his impressive curriculum. There was no doubt that the quarterback from Fulton County, Georgia, would win this year Heisman. The reason behind it was evident: He had outshined each and every other player in the NCAA and had done so while leading the Auburn Tigers into the top of the BCS rankings and straight into the Tositos BCS National Champions Bowl against the Oregon Ducks on January 10th.

As a matter of fact, Newton put in the 11th highest-ever winning margin over second place nominee Andrew Luck. To give you a better perspective, check out the following numbers. Newton received 729 first place votes, and 2263 points. If you compare that to Luck’s 78 first place votes and 1,079 points you can help but to realize that he was the solo winner of this year’s Heisman Trophy. LaMicheal James came in third with 916 points and 22 first place votes. So to give you an even wider perspective, there where 886 ballots submitted to this years award. Cam Newton was name didn’t appear in only 105 of those ballots. The bottom line: there where 105 blind voters or they simply believed that the controversy about his play-for-pay situation with Auburn, was too much of an issue to give him the vote.

He was very quiet when it came down to answering questions about the alleged accusations and the relationship he had with his father, former NFL player, Cecil Newton Sr. The NCAA had started an investigation in regards to the alleged accusations that Cam’s father had been negotiating with colleges to have his son come and play in an specific institution if some sort of monetary agreement could be made beforehand. At the end, the NCAA made a release stating that the Association had no proof against Cam Newton, but forbid his father, Cecil Sr. from making an appearance at the Heisman Trophy Ceremony.

Newton lead the NCAA in passing efficiency and stands 15th in rushing yards. He completed 3,998 total yards for the season, and counted for 49 touchdowns.  Check this out, because this is the breakdown of this 49 td’s: 28 passing, 20 rushing and 1 receiving. Yes, he can do it all.

Like we said, this is Auburn’s third player to win the Heisman Trophy. He now joins the likes of Pat Sullivan in 1971 and Bo Jackson in 1985 as the other two Auburn students to be recognized with this prestigious award.

Leading juvenile Wootton Bassett retains his Trophy entry as well, though he is expected to tackle the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp on Sunday instead.

Brian Meehan's three entires include two strong competitors, Black Moth and Crown Prosecutor, both of whom have run with credit in Group races this season.

Richard Fahey has six entries, including Wootton Bassett, but he could head to Longchamp for the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on Sunday.

Sir Reginald, second in a £200,000 sales race at Newmarket last time out, and Premier Clarets are perhaps Fahey's best alternative hopes.

"Wootton Bassett wil run this weekend," Fahey said on Monday.

"He's entered up in France and that's the preferred option, but it could be very heavy ground and in that case he might not run there.
