Cameron "Cam" Jerrell Newton won the 76th Heisman Trophy Saturday and really no one was surprised. He is on the number one college football team in the country, he set a SEC-best 1,409 yards rushing with 21 touchdowns, and 2,589 yards passing and 28 TD passes. He’s the first SEC player to run for at least 1,000 yards and pass for at least 2,000 in the same season. His father was not there, which as we know is because of his involvement in the whole "pay for play" thing that is still on people's minds. Any who he won and it was not shocking. It was a little embarrassing for the other players here because they knew they had NO chance in winning. Cam received 729 first-place votes and outpointed runner-up Andrew Luck of Stanford by 1,184 points.
All in all I will give him a Digit Up for winning and for the voters supporting him and whatnot. I sort of expect the trophy to be given back in 5 years but maybe I will be wrong.
