Before Auburn in national championship talk, Pat Sullivan, the smooth-throwing quarterback, put the Tigers on the Heisman map. Sullivan threw for over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in just 11 games in 1971—a record-breaking achievement when offenses were still run-dominated.
If you’ve ever had someone say to you, “Bo Knows,” then you already know the direction we’re going. Bo Jackson wasn’t just a football player—he was a legend in life. During his 1985 Heisman-winning season, Jackson rushed for an unbelievable 1,786 yards and 17 touchdowns, scaring SEC defenses on Saturdays. And what made it all the more amazing? He did it with a separated shoulder.
When Cam Newton arrived at Auburn in 2010, the fans were desperate for a spark. What they got was a wildfire. Cam didn’t just have a Heisman season—he had *the* Heisman season. Newton passed for 2,854 yards and 30 touchdowns, adding 1,473 rushing yards and 20 more scores on the ground. That’s 50 total touchdowns—and he made it look like backyard football.
