Auburn Tigers... National Champions!

For the first time in 57 years... the Auburn University Tigers football program can call themselves National Champions! The game last night was an epic battle of two offensive powerhouses pitted against each other... for what was expected to be a high scoring offensive battle, this game began with a convincing display of defense. Three interceptions were thrown on consecutive drives, but neither offense could take advantage of them. They say defenses win championships and last night goes along way to prove it!


Some Auburn Facts (courtesy of ESPN Stats & Information )
  • Auburn becomes the first team since Georgia Tech in 1990 to win a national title after starting the season ranked outside the top 20. 
  • Cam Newton is the 9th Heisman winner to play in the national championship game in the last 11 years. 
  • Auburn's win, coming on the heels of Alabama's title last year, marks the first time in 70-plus years that two different teams from the same state are crowned national champs in consecutive seasons. 
  • The SEC improves to 7-0 in BCS title games and has now won the the last five. 
 2010... National Champs, SEC Champions, Coach of the Year, Heisman Trophy, Lombardi Award... and the list goes on... a perfect year to move back to Alabama to witness the perfect season...
