Newton won the Heisman Trophy in a landslide vote. It was too good to resist, so good, in fact, turned three other finalists worthy of Stanford-luck quarterback Andrew, Oregon running back Michael James and The Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore - witnesses of his coronation in the application Named Best Buy Theater.
Newton was first included in 729 of 886 (93 percent) of the 926 ballots returned and had 2,263 points, finishing ahead of Stanford quarterback luck Andrew, who finished with 78 first-place votes and 1,079 points.
After his name was announced, Newton came up and hugged his mother, Jackie, his two brothers and his college coach Gene Chizik, who sat in the audience. When he reached the podium for his acceptance speech, thanked his parents. "My parents do a lot of things behind the scenes that go unnoticed," he said, the commission of an unintentional Freudian slip.
The immensely talented Tigers 6-6, 250 pounds Junior won by a wide margin despite an NCAA investigation that led to his father Cecil had applied for money through a third party from Mississippi State in a game not for the payment scheme when Newton was being recruited at school last year.
Despite the NCAA ruled neither Newton nor Auburn had no knowledge of the dealings of his father, who clouded the issue and brought painful memories of USC running back Reggie Bush to deliver his 2005 Heisman Trophy last summer after the NCAA determined that no is acceptable for the season because of his parents had received a rent free house and car of two LA sports agents trying to lock your child. Once burned, twice careful.
About 105 Heisman voters of their votes Newton omitted entirely, so the argument that it met the standards of the mission statement of the Heisman Trophy - a quest for excellence with integrity - and pointing to the defects of character that occurred during last two years Newton spent in Florida. While in Gainesville, Newton was arrested for stealing a laptop and was confronted with a student judicial hearing after being caught cheating twice.
