COLIPARK WE DID IT!!!!! (SAID LIKE BIGGIE)
Newton beat out worthy adversaries — LaMichael James ofOregon, Andrew Luck of Stanford and Kellen Moore of Boise State — in landslide fashion. He ended with 2,263 points. Luck was the runner-up with 1,079 points and James finished third with 916. Moore amassed 635.
Broken down regionally, Newton won each and every one, including the Far West.
There were 105 ballots that completely omitted Newton’s name, but he was the first place vote on 93 percent of the ballots.
Newton has led Auburn to a 13-0 record and a berth in the BCS Championship game, which will be played Jan. 10 in Glendale, Ariz.
The 6-foot-6 junior from College Park, Ga., led the nation in passer efficiency rating (188.2) and was second in rushing touchdowns (20). He completed 165 of his 246 passes for 2,589 yards and 28 touchdowns against just six interceptions. He ran the ball 242 times for 1,409 yards and the aforementioned 20 scores. He amassed six 100-yard rushing games and two 300-yard passing games.
Newton becomes the third player in Auburn history to win the coveted award, joining Bo Jackson (1985) and Pat Sullivan (1971). Jackson was on-hand for his Silver Anniversary to see Newton crowned. With three, Auburn now only trails Notre Dame (seven), Ohio State (seven), USC (six) and Oklahoma (five) in Heisman Trophy winners.

I glad that this kid got what he played so hard for this year. I hope nothing comes out later to cause him to be required or expected to return the award. Not to mention that he is hot and easy to look at in thr process.

Congrats to Cam. It’s unmistakeable that this guy has natural God-given talent and has displayed it the whole season. A lot of games he brought AU from behind. Can’t wait to see the Championship on 1/10/11!
