As anyone ready for the Auburn Tigers to take on the Oregon Ducks in January at Glendale, Arizona? The Tigers notched up a 56-17 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks, led by Cam Newton's six total touchdowns. Newton went 17-of-28 for 335 yards and four touchdowns on the air with 73 yards and two scores on the ground.
Auburn now improves to 13-0 as they hold on to the number one seed in the FBS rankings. Everyone was yelling "Heisman" in the crowd, and there is no doubt that Newton will win. Pack your bags, Cam, you're heading to Glendale!
Meanwhile, the Gamecocks fall to 9-5, but there is no worry as they will have a bowl game in set for them. The play of the day for this game would probably be Newton's hail mary pass to end the first half. He threw a lob into the end zone, but it would somehow end up in Darvin Adams' hands for the score.
Take a look:
Meanwhile, for the Oregon Ducks, they rolled against the rival Oregon State Beavers in a Civil War match-up, cruising to a 37-20 victory. It was led by the strong running game with LaMichael James, who carried the ball 28 times for 134 yards with two touchdowns. Quarterback Darron Thomas was 14-of-24 for 145 yards with two touchdowns.
A key play in the game was on a fake punt, which was then handed off to linebacker Michael Clay for a 64-yard burst to but Oregon inside the ten, which would lead to a score. Oregon improves to 12-0 and advance to their first BCS bowl game ever and their first ever 12-0 year.
The Beavers fall to 5-7. With one more win, they could have possibly been bowl-eligible. Well, that's life.
Can't wait until Glendale!
It's hard to decide who wins. But I wish the best of luck for both teams!
