Cam Newton leads Auburn back from 24-point deficit to beat Alabama

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Cam Newton took an improbable victory lap around Bryant-Denny Stadium, savoring his most audacious performance yet in this season of triumph and controversy: leading Auburn back from 24 points down against the defending national champs. One more showing like that, and it's Newton and the second-ranked Tigers who'll be getting a shot at the title. Newton threw for three touchdowns wholesale desinger gucci handbagsand ran for another, keeping Auburn on track for a shot at the BCS championship game with a stunning 28-27 victory over No. 9 Alabama on Friday. Auburn (12-0, 8-0 Southeastern Conference) trailed 21-0 before it even picked up a first down, and Alabama (9-3, 5-3) had a 314-2 lead in total yards when things looked especially grim for the Tigers. But Newton, with another signature performance in this season that has no equal on the field, rallied the Tigers from a 24-0 deficit to leave the crowd of more than 101,000 in disbelief when it was over. Well, except those orange-clad faithful crammed into one end of the stadium amid all the crimson, celebrating a win no one could have seen coming just a couple of hours earlier. Newton threw scoring passes fake gucci bags of 36 yards to Emory Blake, 70 yards to Terrell Zachery and, finally, a 7-yarder to Philip Lutzenkirchen with 11:55 remaining that gave Auburn its first lead of the day. It held up, keeping the Tigers perfect heading to next week's SEC championship game against South Carolina. If Auburn wins that one, the reward will certainly be a spot in the national title game. Nawton also had a 1-yard TD run, and this may be the performance that locks up the Heisman Trophy -- if allegations that his father sought a huge payout for the quarterback to sign out of junior college don't weigh too heavily on the voters' minds. Certainly on the field, Newton has no peer. It's unlikely that anyone in the country could lead a team back from such a daunting deficit at Bryant-Denny Stadium, where Alabama had won 20 in a row. Newton didn't do much on the ground, rushing for just 39 yards and enduring plenty of big hits in the backfield, including four sacks. But Newton showed he's no slouch with his arm, either, completing 13 of 20 for 216 yards. The improbable comebackgucci messenger bags wouldn't have been possible without some help from Alabama. Last year's Heisman winner, Mark Ingram, fumbled the ball away at the end of a long run just when it looked like the Tide was about to blow the Tigers all the way back to the Plains. Another fumble, this one coughed up by quarterback Greg McElroy after a big hit by Nick Fairley -- and recovered by Fairley -- cost the Tide another scoring chance deep in Auburn territory near the end of the first half. Alabama still led 24-7 going to the locker room, but yet another miscue probably hurt the Tide most of all. On Auburn's second play of the second half, Newton threw a deep pass for Zachery down the sideline. Alabama safety Mark Barron came racing over and appeared to have a chance either at the interception or a big hit on the receiver. He got neither. Barron actually got to the receiver a little early and slid by him. Zachery came down with the ball and kept on going for the touchdown that cut the deficit to 24-14.
