Cam Newton’s iconic comeback against Alabama deserves a deep rewind
The Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn is one of the fiercest rivalries in all of sports. It’s an in-state battle for bragging rights that never seems to end, whether there’s a game going on or not. Headed into the 75th Iron bowl in 2010, the stakes were a little different than normal. Instead of the Alabama Crimson Tide faithful gearing their hate towards the Auburn population as a whole, this time out they were more focused. They targeted Auburn quarterback Cameron Newton.
Cam had made himself an easy target. Besides being the clear favorite for the Heisman trophy and leading his team to an undefeated record, Cam carried a lot of baggage from his previous stops. Before suiting up with Auburn, he started his collegiate career with the University of Florida. With the Gators he was more famously known off the field for stealing a laptop and possibly facing expulsion for academic misconduct. Fast forward to his 2010 season, and Cam and his father were being investigated by the NCAA for an alleged pay-for-play deal with Mississippi State. So yeah, even before the game kicked off the drama surrounding the nation’s best player that year was already intense.
Once the game did kick off, Auburn was quickly reminded of how aggressive their Crimson Tide opponent was. Despite having a subpar year by their standards with a 9-2 record, the 2010 Alabama Crimson Tide team was coming off a championship, with a roster full of players who would go on to see quality NFL time. They opened up the game with a 24-0 lead early in the second quarter. But when you’re up against a quarterback as talented as Cam Newton, even a 24 point lead isn’t safe. To fully understand one of the greatest comebacks in college football, you need to understand the rivalry, the role reversal between these teams, and how a quarterback with the odds stacked against him rose to the top.
To do all that, let’s rewind.

#SecretBase #CamNewton #IronBowl
That was as interesting as a wnba game
Was in attendance at this game. Regardless of my Alabama loyalty, I look back at this as one of the best games of the rivalry and one of the best games I’ve ever seen
Guz was not auburn coach at the time.
Cam Newton is the best college football player over
Is it me or does this guy keep saying “Our-Burn?”
I still don't know how the heck y'all haven't done SB 52 yet. It's tailor made for this series, with a last second ending, a David vs Goliath matchup, and the most yards in an NFL game ever. What gives? At this point it just feels like y'all hate the Eagles.
What is the name of the outro song?
I guess the Auburn defense holding Bama to 3 2nd half points doesn't get any love...
C'mon @SecretBase Language!! No need for cursing. Be professional, do better!
The narrator has too much mouth juice!Had to take my earbuds out....Needs a dentist at the ready with that spit vacuum!!!
Remember full stadium atmospheres
You guys should make a rewind of Luis Suarezs handball stop at the 2010 world cup
Arburn
The thirsty africa semiannually kiss because support chronologically charge through a limping aluminum. sharp, mute test
Where tf was this cam this year?
I'm actually a big fan of Cam, but I love how it's 'accepted' that his dad _was_ going to take 100 grand for his son to play at Mississippi State, but nah he went to Auburn for free lol. Yeahhh right.
The bumpy birth concurringly practise because desert hisologically face by a dapper kitchen. scientific, sore neon
I'll die on the hill that if Cam played RB he's a Hall of Famer and he was not a good QB.
Kinda forgot that Cam has always been a dummy
that laptop thing sounded so fishy like a set up
I swear to God there's NOTHING BETTER than coming back in a game to win by 1. So special
2019 Egg Bowl needs a deep rewind. One play led to both schools firing their head coach
Do the 1978 national championship game aka the goal line stand when Alabama had an amazing goal line stand to beat Penn State 14-7 in the national championship/sugar bowl
No where near as good as Nevada vs noise state rivalry with kapernick. And I do not like Kapernick at all. But those four games where they faced off against each other are gold! If you want to see an even better football video of it, go watch KTO’s video on it. That final game, I can’t even comment on, it would do it injustice
They had him listed at 6’7 247 😳
Arburn
What school is R-burn?
do tottenham spurs comeback against ajax
The goofy softdrink comparatively spell because dessert lately call like a purring warm. ancient, horrible volleyball
Cam took the hiesmam, the natty, and the laptop. Good year.
Can you guys cover MSU U of M 2015? It’s the punt fumble game
You guys gotta do Clemson's title with deshaun
i like how you literally put the end score at 5:13 in the video
Areburn
This hurt to watch, but it hurts less than yet another freaking replay of the Kick Six.
5:14 why you gonna show auburn 28-27 during rewind and spoil the whole video
Cam Newton steals a laptop, Florida gives him the boot. Aaron Hernandez is suspected of shooting 2 dudes outside of a nightclub, Florida says, "allegedly".
Do Liverpool v Barcelona second leg
Now, Cam's carrer is over
Super Bowl XXXIV is overdue for a rewind.
Literally one of my all time favorite games
Arburn?
Being an Alabama fan, I had a deep respect for Newton and the Tigers that year. To take on your “big brother” and take not only the bragging rights in state, and in the Nation. That was a fun year for the guys on the Plains. They may still hold on to that and the Kick-Six to this day, but 2010 was definitely the year to be an Auburn Tiger fan. RIP Lutz and RIP Rob Bramblett.
Malzahn is now fired
The brave drama conversely rinse because skate thermodynamically stretch between a bitter david. vivacious, husky malaysia
Deshaun Watson to hunter renfrow for the national championship against Alabama. Can y’all do that one next?
I like that this guy says Arburn not Auburn.
This video just shows how shitty and sad Alabama is with how much they care about football. Whole state sucks ass
The goal that kicked Germany out of the 2018 World Cup
Cam cool but look like he should've been born in the 70's
9:09 😒...that's Brenham, Texas, my guy.
That write up was inaccurate as hell lol. Cam Newton is not 6-7 🤣
Damn, that was a good video, but, it's almost like time expired and you hit submit assignment.
Damn dude, I'm no where even close to a big CFB fan, really not even a lowercase F fan, but this video is so well done, so cool, I was gripped. Really cool stuff, and really well done. You've got the touch! Not to mention the autorewinder... too cool!
Love him or hate him. Cam Newton always wins very fun games
I cringed every time he said Arburn
The watery scene substantively remove because oven shortly welcome save a past asparagus. material, shiny sphere

The battle of the bridge! cheslea vs tottenham that decided Leicester city win the prem title at 5000:1 odds in 2016 dirty game lots of fouls and hazards goal to seal it for leicester
I’ll never forget this day. I was at my sister’s place... she’s a huge auburn fan but we were up 24-0 when I fell asleep only to wake up and see the score. I thought my eyes were deceiving me. Unfortunately l have great vision and the score I saw was enough to make me nauseous.
The entire 2015-16 Leicester City season needs a deep rewind. If there was ever a football (soccer) season deserving of one, that’s it!
Hey SB! Can we please get a rewind on the 2013 or 2014 NHL WCF winning goals?

Best single season by a player in college football history.
It seems like this channel uploading less frequently since the name change. What's the deal?
There needs to be a deep rewind for "X-Clown" from the 2003 divisional game between the Panthers and Rams
Could you do one of these for K-State beating North Texas during the 1989 football season.
Always felt like the one thing nobody likes talking about in this game is Bama scoring just 3pts in the 2nd half (6pts total after the 1st quarter)
Could you do a collapse of the 1990 Cincinnati Reds or a Rewind of Tyler Boyd's iconic 4th down touchdown conversion that stunned Baltimore in 2017 and sent the Buffalo Bills to the playoffs for the first time since 1999?
You need to make a deep rewind of Bayern last minute goal against Hamburg to clinch the title in 2001. Here is why: 1. Bayern only needed a tie to win the championship but concedes a goal in the 90th minute (last minute of regular playing time). 2. Schalke, the direct rival in the championship race, needs Bayern to lose and a win to win it all. They are playing at the same time and Schalke wins 5:3. 3. The game ends at Schalke and the fans hear, that the Bayern - Hamburg game just surpassed the 90th minute mark and its 1-0 for Hamburg. Believing that Bayern lost hey storm the field and everyone, including players and coaches, start to celebrate. However, Bayern´s game is still on. 4 more minutes to play (stoppage time). 4. Hamburg´s defender passes the ball back to the goalie who picks it up. The ref has to blow the whistle. What happened: Until 1992 goalies were permitted to pick up passes with their hands by allied players. With the goalie picking up the ball, Bayern gains a free kick within the penalty box. An unusual position, because breach of rules usually leads to a penalty. 5. Bayern´s Patrik Andersson takes kick, 8 meters away from the goal, with nearly all of Hamburg´s players standing inside the goal. Somehow the ball slips between a leg and the goal post into the goal. Bayern ties the game and wins the championship. 6. Meanwhile at Schalke, everyone is celebrating frantically. Slowly the news goes around that Hamburg conceded a last-minute goal and Schalke will not hoist the cup. Backstory and aftermath: - Schalke never won the Bundesliga championship in its history and still hasn´t. Bayern was and still is the record holder for most championships. Expect Bayern fans (and maybe Dortmund), the entirety of German football fans was against Bayern and for Schalke. With the dramatic ending Schalke became the nickname “Champion of the hearts (Meister der Herzen). - The victory in Hamburg ultimately cemented Oliver Kahn´s legacy as the “TITAN”. While most Bayern players were completely devastated after conceding the 1-0 Kahn ferociously pushed his players to play out the last 4 minutes of the game. His screams “Weiter, immer weiter” (Keep going, always keep going.) showcased willpower and leadership that are respected until today and rightfully put him in the debate of greatest goalie in soccer. - Bayern would win the Champions League a few weeks later in a penalty shootout. Oliver Kahn would safe 3 of 5 kicks.
Anyone one else see the one report list him at 6’7 247?😂
