2011 BCS Championship, Oregon vs Auburn

i'd say both defenses played well with the points scored vs. averages for the season

 

You have to realize some of our fan bases consider anything over 100 yards and 3 points to be an epic defensive failure and calling for immediate termination of said Venables led defense!!

 

Bout the only good thing was that Smarmy smirk that Kelly had on his face when he was running up the scores on other teams was not present in tonight's loss.

 

There will be no further NCAA investigation or sanctioning.

The NCAA suits have apparently decided the game doesn't need another scandal of the Reggie Bush magnitude. The NCAA ruled, before the SEC conference championship, that Newton remained eligible because: 1) his dad's actions weren't his; 2) Newton didn't know about his dad's scheme, and; 3) there was no evidence AU offered or agreed to pay his dad anything.

Folks may not like it, but there it is.

 

I quite agree. This game proved yet again, great defenses win championships.

 

..."But in the midst of top-ranked Auburn celebrating a national title for the first time in more than five decades after defeating Oregon 22-19 in Monday night’s BCS Championship Game, its star quarterback Cameron Newton made his way to the University of Phoenix Stadium’s east side and climbed in to the first row of the stands.

Frenzied Tigers fans crowded him as they slapped his shoulder pads, snapped his photograph and yelled, “We love you Cam!” During it all, he was oblivious.

Instead, Newton carefully scanned the crowd higher up in the stands before finally motioning passionately for someone to come to him. When that didn’t happen, he walked along a row of seats to the aisle.

And after charging up several more rows, Newton finally found what he was looking for — his controversial father, Cecil Newton Sr."-from article by Thayer Evans

Pressure for a Playoff, baby!

 

I couldn't believe that when I saw it on replay. That's one of the dirtiest moves I've seen in a football game.

 

Cecil will be living the life real soon.

Fukkin scumbag!
