The Prophesy

I agree. One thing I noticed that I haven't heard from anyone else: Newton DID have the ball stripped from him, and it was a lost fumble, but the refs blew the call. It probably would have changed the entire game. It was on the first or second Auburn possession when he got sacked deep in their own territory, and the Oregon defender picked up the loose ball with nothing between himself and the endzone, but the refs blew it dead. I replayed that over several times and couldn't believe that both the announcers and the officials missed it. The ball was clearly loose before Cam was down. My guess is that since it was early in the game, no one was paying attention yet and they were all caught up in the heisman hype.
