Unstoppable is the loosest of sports cliches. No one is unstoppable, except maybe the 100-points-a-game Wilt and the guy with the rainbow hair and John 3:16 sign. Everybody else was good for a while and got old.
Quick question: if Cam Newton is so unstoppable, why did the Auburn Tigers score just 28 points against Alabama, 24 against LSU, 27 against Clemson and 17 against Mississippi State? Of course the champions of the SEC did lay 62 on Chattanooga and 52 on Louisiana-Monroe. The numbers don't support the unchecked belligerence-straight-out-of-Deliverance from the fans of the rent-a-QB. He's good, and has amassed impressive stats, but War Eagle had to snare a few crippled ground squirrels to stay alive in 2010.
Beating the Ducks won't be as easy as lining up the fat guys and running right. The Ducks have run circles around big, fat guys all season. Scheme won't win the national championship, and neither will belly-bucking bigness. Auburn will have to earn the title just like everyone else who made it this far in the previous sixteen seasons.
Fan boards can huff and puff all they want, but the whole thing still might come down to the laces on a field goal try with two seconds to play.

True dat. If the Ducks can make tackles against that beast $cam Newton and play opportunistic defense Auburn is DEFINITELY stoppable.
