Cam Newton and Auburn were a juggernaut. The QB won the Heisman and faced Oregon for the national title. A 19-yard field goal by Wes Byrum, as time expired, won the game for the Tigers, with the final score 22-19. Newton threw for 265 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 64 yards as Auburn finished 14-0 and handed the Ducks their first loss in 13 games.
