Although he didn’t carry his team as expected, Auburn quarterback Cam Newton can add National Champion to his list of NCAA accolades.

Newton mostly handed off to freshman running back Michael Dyer on the final drive against Oregon, setting up a last-second field goal from 19 yards out to give them the 22-19 win and the National title. Auburn was a one-point underdog in the contest.

Oregon did a good job of containing the Heisman winner all night, forcing him to throw an early interception while preventing him from breaking out with any big plays. However, Auburn’s Dyer stepped up on the national stage, finishing with 143 rushing yards — 56 of which came on the final drive that set up the Wes Byrum field goal.

Still, Newton’s ability to overcome NCAA violations and accusations to post 330 total yards, two touchdowns and one interception on the biggest stage made him the postgame focus.

“Anything is possible,” Newton said. “I’m a prime example of how God can turn something very bad into something great.”

Although the game was the nail biter everyone expected, with the Total closing at 73 it wasn’t close to the high-scoring contest everyone anticipated. Instead both defenses bent but never broke, finishing with two sacks and two turnovers each.
