The defining moment of the game came when tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen (RIP) caught a 7-yard touchdown pass and proceeded to dance in the end zone. 10 minutes later they struck again with a 1-yard touchdown rush from Cam to make the score 24-21. Within one minute of the third quarter beginning, the Tigers began gaining on the Tide with a 70-yard touchdown catch from Terrell Zachary. I switched back to the game and just prayed for Cam to play out of his head.Īuburn came out of the first half playing like their hair was on fire. That was enough halftime Internet for me. I saw a few posts where Bama fans were crying for their defense to break Cam’s legs. Alabama was leading Auburn 24-7 at this point, yet Tide fans were seething with anger after Cam’s 36 yard pass to Emory Blake. By the end of the first half the Tigers had ended the scoring drought with a 36-yard touchdown catch from Emory Blake.ĭuring halftime I checked Facebook to see what everyone had to say about the game. Coming back seemed like an impossible mountain to climb, but there was a lot of game left. At the end of the first quarter the Tide led the Tigers 21-0. This game started out as an absolute trainwreck for Auburn. My go-to response was to always ask them why all of Alabama’s players mysteriously had Dodge Chargers, and where in the world did they get them from? It quieted them for maybe a day or two until this game shut them up for good. The insults all focused around the NCAA’s investigation into whether or not Auburn offered Cam a cash bribe. We (the Auburn fans) were getting pretty tired of the same trite trash talk. Not a single Auburn fan could wear Tiger Rags to school or post a “War Eagle!” online without getting accosted by one of them. I was a junior in high school and had dealt with my fair share of Bama fans (they made up more than half of our high school). Goodness gracious when this game happened I’d just began to drive. Number 5: Auburn vs Alabama 2010, “The Camback” Let’s revisit his greatest collegiate game ever, it’s one of my favorites coming in at number 5. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since Cam dressed out in an Auburn uniform. Newton threw for 397 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Just on Sunday we saw SuperCam continue to do heroic things for the Patriots’ offense. He rushed for an additional 58 touchdowns and leads the NFL in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.Today Cam Newton is a household name. In his career with the Panthers, Newton passed for 29,041 and 182 touchdowns.

Wanna see Cam walk back into the Panthers facilities and grab his #1 jersey, original locker, and parking spot like nothing ever happened. He’s baaaaaaaaaack… #KeepPounding /blAVniEBWo Fan of Blue Blood Bball Team November 11, 2021Ĭurrently sobbing tears of unadulterated joy in my accounting class. He’ll be joining former Auburn football defensive lineman Derrick Brown and sporting a jersey he wore for nearly a decade:Ĭurrently digging through my closet to find my Cam Newton jersey To most Auburn football fans, Newton’s return to Charlotte only feels right. He was released in 2019 and signed by the Patriots, who then waived the QB earlier this year. Newton played nine seasons with the Carolina Panthers after being drafted and led them all the way to the Super Bowl in 2015 before spending the next few seasons battling injuries. Newton will provide badly needed depth to the Panthers, whose starting QB Sam Darnold is expected to be out for four to six weeks due to a shoulder injury. The Carolina Panther reported that the team has officially agreed to terms with the quarterback and he will return to Charlotte pending a physical.

Now, he’s returning to the team that made him into the No. After being released by the New England Patriots prior to the beginning of the season, Newton has been sidelined with free-agent status. Former Auburn football quarterback Cam Newton is officially back in the game.
