The Auburn Tigers are making headlines as the program officially retires Cam Newton’s legendary No. 2 jersey. This monumental decision places Newton alongside Auburn greats like Bo Jackson and Pat Sullivan, ensuring his incredible 2010 season and national championship run will never be forgotten. While the move sparked debate among fans and media—especially with incoming QB Deuce Knight wanting the number—it ultimately cements Cam’s place in Auburn history.

In this episode, we look back at Newton’s most iconic moments, including his unforgettable comeback against Alabama in the 2010 Iron Bowl, where Auburn stormed back from a 24-0 deficit to secure one of the program’s most dramatic wins. That season not only delivered a national title but also a Heisman and Maxwell Award for Newton, solidifying him as one of the greatest players in college football history.

Looking ahead, the conversation shifts to Auburn’s highly anticipated season opener against Baylor on August 29th. Head coach Hugh Freeze hinted that all three quarterbacks could see the field, stirring speculation across social media. However, the expectation remains that the offense will run primarily through Jackson Arnold, with situational packages possibly involving other QBs.

The discussion also highlights key position battles, including the return of kicker Alex McPherson after injury, and breakout potential for running back Demari Alston, who looks poised to follow in Auburn’s tradition of dynamic backs. Finally, Auburn’s controversial decision to claim additional national championships, including the undefeated 2004 season, sparks debate about legacy, recognition, and college football history.
