SCOOTIN’ NEWTONJunior quarterback Cam Newton leads the
SEC and ranks sixth nationally (second amongquarterbacks) in rushing, averaging 134.6 yardsper game, and has a nation-best 14 rushingtouchdowns. He is the only player in the countrywith five games of 170+ rushing yards this sea-son, as no other player has more than three.
Newton’s numbers are even better in SECgames, as he averages 169.8 yards per game andhas 12 rushing touchdowns - both league bests.He is the first player in school history to rush forthree or more touchdowns in three consecutiveSEC games, and the second player in school his-tory to rush for three or more touchdowns inback-to-back games, joining Joe Cribbs (1979).
In just eight games, Newton already has bro-ken the SEC’s single-season rushing record by aquarterback with 1,077 yards. With two-thirds ofthe regular season completed, Newton is on paceto finish the regular season with 1,616 yardsrushing, obliterating the previous SEC record of1,006 yards by Auburn’s Jimmy Sidle in 1963.
Newton, who leads the SEC in rushing by354 yards over his nearest competitor, also has achance to become the first quarterback to leadthe SEC in rushing since Sidle in 1963.
FIVE OF THE TOP 50Cam Newton has only played eight games at
Auburn, but amazingly, he already owns five ofthe top 50 rushing performances in the history ofa school known for its long line of stellar runningbacks. In his Auburn debut, Newton posted thesecond-highest rushing total ever for an Auburnquarterback, gaining 171 yards and two touch-downs against Arkansas State. He topped thatagainst South Carolina, going for 176 yards andthree scores, then went for 198 yards and fourTDs at Kentucky, tying the school single-gamerecord for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.He added 188 yards and three TDs againstArkansas before shredding LSU for a career-high217 yards and two more scores.
Newton is the only player in school historyto rush for 170 or more yards in four consecutiveSoutheastern Conference games, and no one elsehad done it more than twice in a row. Newton isalso only the second player in school history torush for 170 or more yards five times in a singleseason, joining Bo Jackson who accomplishedthe feat in 1985.
PICKING UP THE PACECam Newton has excelled all season, but has
really been on a tear in recent games. In the lastthree games, he has rushed for 603 yards (201.0ypg). The last time an Auburn player rushed for600 total yards over three consecutive games wasin 1985, when Bo Jackson tallied 658 yardsagainst Ole Miss (240), Florida State (176) andGeorgia Tech (242). Newton's 603 yards have allcome in conference play and are the most rushingyards ever by an Auburn player over a three-gamespan in SEC action. The previous best wasJackson's 570 rushing yards in 1983 againstFlorida (196), Georgia (118), and Alabama (256).
In his last four SEC games (three againstranked opponents), Newton has rushed for 779yards (194.5 ypg) and 12 touchdowns while com-pleting 49-of-72 passes (68.1 pct) for 594 yards,three TDs and 1 interception.

2010 Auburn Football Game Notes
MORE THAN JUST A RUNNERCam Newton hasn’t only excelled with his
feet, but also throwing the ball. Newton ranksthird nationally in passing efficiency (172.08)and became the first quarterback in school histo-ry to throw at least two touchdown passes in eachof the first five games of a season. No otherAuburn quarterback had done that in as many asthe first three games.
Newton has accounted for five TDs in agame twice this season (vs. Arkansas State andSouth Carolina) and was named SEC OffensivePlayer of the Week after both games. In additionto his rushing and passing efficiency numbers,he leads the SEC and ranks ninth nationally intotal offense (305.1), ranks fifth in the SEC inall-purpose yards (137.4), has caught a pass for22 yards and even punted once for 22 yards.
ON PACE TO MAKE HISTORYThrough eight games, Cam Newton is on
pace to become the first quarterback in SEC his-tory to throw for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000yards in a season - a feat accomplished by justseven quarterbacks in NCAA history enteringthis season, including just three from BCS con-ference schools. Newton is currently on pace tofinish the regular season with 2,046 yards pass-ing and 1,616 yards rushing. The list of quarter-backs who have achieved the 2,000/1,000 mile-stone follows:QB School Year Pass RushDwight Dasher Middle Tenn. 2009 2,789 1,154Colin Kaepernick Nevada 2009 2,052 1,183Joe Webb UAB 2009 2,299 1,427Colin Kaepernick Nevada 2008 2,849 1,130Joe Webb UAB 2008 2,367 1,021Dan LeFevour Central Mich. 2007 3,652 1,122Brad Smith Missouri 2005 2,304 1,301Vince Young Texas 2005 3,036 1,050Brad Smith Missouri 2002 2,333 1,029Woodrow Dantzler Clemson 2001 2,360 1,004
CARRYING THE LOADCam Newton has been extremely vital to
Auburn’s success this season, as he has had ahand in 27 of the team’s 38 (71.1 pct.) offensivetouchdowns, throwing for 13 and rushing for 14.The 27 TDs passing and rushing leads the nationand is the best in a single season in school histo-ry, breaking the school record of 26 held by PatSullivan (1970).
Newton has accumulated 2,441 yards of totaloffense, with 1,364 yards through the air and1,077 yards rushing. That makes him responsiblefor 62.7 percent of the 3,894 yards accumulated byan offense that ranks 10th nationally.
OFFENSE KEEPS ROLLINGAuburn’s offense continues to shine under
second-year offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn,as the Tigers rank fourth nationally in rushingoffense (303.3), 10th in total offense (486.8) and11th in scoring offense (38.6). In 21 games underMalzahn, Auburn has totaled at least 500 yardsof offense eight times, including four this season.
Prior to Malzahn’s arrival in 2009, Auburn had-n’t had a single 500-yard game since the 2005Georgia game - a streak of 40 games.
DOMINANT GROUND GAMEAuburn’s running game has been dominant
this season, as the Tigers lead the SEC with theiraverage of 303.3 yards per game - more than 84yards per game more than second-placeMississippi State. Auburn has four of the top 20rushers in the SEC, led by junior quarterbackCam Newton, who averages a league-best 134.6yards per game on the ground even after not call-ing his own number on a running play once Oct.2 vs. ULM. Freshman Michael Dyer is 12th in theSEC averaging 67.9 yards per game, while sopho-more Onterio McCalebb (57.3) and senior MarioFannin (36.1) have also contributed in theground game.
Against South Carolina Sept. 25, Auburnhad two 100-yard rushers in the same game, asNewton had 176 yards on the ground and Dyerrushed for an even 100. The duo improved onthat feat against LSU, with Newton going for 217and Dyer again hitting 100 yards on the nose. Itwas the first time since 1985 and sixth time inschool history that Auburn has had a 200 yardrusher and a 100 yard rusher in the same game.The last time it occurred was on Sept. 7, 1985when Bo Jackson ran for 290 yards and BrenFullwood rushed for 173 against SouthwestLouisiana. The last time Auburn had a 200 yardrusher and a 100 yard rusher in the same SECgame was in 1979 against Georgia (JamesBrooks, 200 yds; Joe Cribbs, 166).
Auburn has now had two 100-yard rushersin the same game four times over 21 games inthe last two seasons. In the 19 seasons prior(1990-2008), the Tigers accomplished the feat sixtimes in 229 games.
In 21 games under Gus Malzahn Auburnhas now rushed for at least 300 yards seventimes. Prior to Malzahn’s arrival, Auburn hadjust four 300-yard rushing games in the previoussix seasons combined.
FEASTING ON SEC DEFENSESAuburn has put up amazing rushing num-
bers against the tough defenses of the SEC. TheTigers are averaging a whopping 321.0 yards pergame on the ground against SEC opponents,which leads the league by 132.6 yards per gameover runner-up LSU (188.4).
Auburn rushed for 440 yards against anLSU defense that ranked sixth nationally inrushing defense (83.6), marking the most yardsrushing by Auburn against an SEC opponent inschool history. It was also the fourth straight SECdefense to see the Tigers put up more than 300yards rushing against it, as Auburn had 334yards against South Carolina, 311 yards atKentucky and 330 yards against Arkansas. Sincerecords became available in 1967, Auburn hadnever before rushed for at least 300 yards in eventhree straight SEC games, let alone four.

BIG PLAYSThe Tigers have run 19 plays already this
season that covered at least 35 yards, including12 that resulted in touchdowns. Four of theplays, all touchdowns, covered at least 70 yards.Last season, Auburn had 22 plays of at least 35yards. In 2008, before Gus Malzahn’s arrival, theTigers had just nine plays that covered 35 ormore yards all season.
EXPERIENCED O-LINE PAVES THE WAYAuburn has one of the most experienced if
not one of the best offensive lines in the country,with four starters returning who have combinedto make 141 career starts. Senior All-Americancandidate and Outland Trophy watch list candi-date Lee Ziemba has started all 46 games attackle since arriving as a true freshman, whilecenter Ryan Pugh, a Rimington Trophy candi-date, has made 40 starts since his true freshmanseason. Guards Mike Berry (29 starts) andByron Isom (26 starts) round out the experi-enced group.
Auburn’s offensive line was ranked as thefifth-best OL unit in the country by Phil Steeleand Lindy’s in their preseason publications.
DYER DOING DAMAGETrue freshman Michael Dyer had his sec-
ond 100-yard rushing performance against LSU,and now has 543 yards rushing this season. Hisaverage of 67.9 yards per game ranks seventhnationally among freshmen, and his rushingtotal ranks seventh best for a freshman inAuburn history, and fourth best for a true fresh-man. He needs just four yards to catch sopho-more Onterio McCalebb, who rushed for 547yards last season.
CARDIAC KIDSAuburn has won five games this season by
single digits, including three games that weredecided by just three points. The last timeAuburn won three games by three of fewerpoints in the same season was 2007, and the lasttime Auburn was 3-0 in any season in gamesdecided by three points or less was in 2001,
when the Tigers beat Vanderbilt (24-21),Mississippi State (16-14) and Florida (23-20) onconsecutive Saturdays. In five of Auburn’s eightvictories this season, the Tigers did not take thelead until the fourth quarter or overtime.
COMEBACK KIDSAuburn has trailed in five of its eight victo-
ries this season and overcame double-digitdeficits to beat both Clemson and SouthCarolina. The Tigers trailed Clemson 17-0 in thesecond quarter Sept. 18 before winning 27-24 inovertime, and trailed the Gamecocks 20-7 in thesecond period Sept. 25 before rallying for a 35-27 victory.
It marked just the third time since 1970that Auburn has had two wins in the same sea-son while overcoming double digit deficits, andthe first time it happened in consecutive games.In 1997, Auburn overcame 11-point deficits tobeat both Alabama in the Iron Bowl andClemson in the Peach Bowl. In 1972, Auburntrailed Georgia Tech by 14 and Alabama by 16in the Punt Bama Punt game before winningboth contests.
The victory over Clemson also marked thefirst time that Auburn overcame a deficit of atleast 17 points to win since Sept. 28, 2002, whenthe Tigers trailed Syracuse 17-0 at Jordan-HareStadium before coming back to win 37-34 inthree overtimes. It was just Auburn’s fourth 17-point deficit overcome in a victory since 1970.
STOPPING THE RUNAuburn’s defense has excelled against the
run this season, ranking third in the SEC and16th nationally in rushing defense, allowing just103.4 yards per game.

Tate’s 144 yards also pushed him past the 1,000-yard plateau for the season,marking the first time in his career to amass 1,000 yards in a season.
Ole Miss struck first in the game, putting together a 10-play, 94-yard drivein its first possession for a touchdown. Auburn answered with 8:06 left in the firstquarter on a 36-yard Wes Byrum field goal.
The Tigers took the leadfor good at the 5:23 mark inthe second quarter as ChrisTodd connected with DarvinAdams for a 28-yard touch-down pass. The touchdownpass was the 13th of the sea-son for Todd while the recep-tion was a team-leading sixthfor Adams.
Auburn held a three-point advantage, 10-7, at thehalf before erupting for 21straight points in a six minutespan, needing just six offen-sive plays and a defensivescore to take control of thegame.
Kodi Burns’ 14-yard passto Tommy Trott capped athree-play, 61-yard drivewhile Tate’s 53-yard touch-down run finished a three-play, 67-yard drive.Sandwiched between the twooffensive scores was a WalterMcFadden 29-yard intercep-tion returned for a touchdownon Ole Miss’ lone offensive
play in the sequence as Auburn went up 31-7 with 7:42 left in the third quarter.Ole Miss answered Tate’s scamper with an 82-yard kickoff return by Jesse
Grandy to make it 31-14 and then after a defensive stand went 79 yards on aDexter McCluster run down the sideline to make it 31-20. The snap on the extrapoint was fumbled and the kick was blocked allowing Auburn’s DemondWashington to scoop it up and run it back in for a 33-20 Auburn lead.
