>> verne: a little over seven minutes left in this one and we invite you to stay tuned after the game for "the jeep post-game show" on cbs. >> gary: everybody is is trying that now. >> verne: good. there is an endorsement. >> gary: in the rust-colored sweater, that was bo jackson. i'm not quite sure who the second guy was. we know who number two is. i don't think we'll see him back on the field unless they just send him out there to take him out to get a round of applause from the auburn fans. >> verne: 408 total yards for cam newton. >> verne: there is the kick. goes left. maybe too far left. no. taken by demond washington. >> verne: take you through the cam newton touchdowns. the first of six. a toss to mccalebb. then on the ground for five yards. the catch made by darvin adams. the tip at halftime, the "hail mary." and he ran over antonio allen. and finally, emory blake. six touchdowns accounted for in this ballgame and on the field still. >> gary: i think it's going to be one play for cam and then take him off for applause. >> verne: here is "the aflac trivia question bonus." who is the back-up quarterback? there you go. handoff to the right side. that goes to mario fannin. number 27. >> gary: watch barrett trotter come in and cam newton go off. >> verne: his mom. his coach. >> verne: threw for 335, ran for 73. barrett trotter, the back-up quarterback. that's mario fannin, senior, number 27. >> gary: most likely, there are 24 seniors on this team, and most likely that guy right there is going to be leaving. we're probably seeing his last play in the sec -- of course, we're going to see him in the national championship game. >> verne: so barrett trotter, sophomore from birmingham, 6'2", 211, he's seen action in five games. this is his sixth. but strictly in a back-up role. so for the season, five of eight through the air for 48 yards. that will not be his task now. keep it on the ground. chew up the clock. >> gary: i'll tell you who also deserves some applause. we can get that camera on the offensive line -- number 73, lee ziemba. ryan pugh, mike berry. byron isom. all seniors. part of that team, remember, 36-0, 2008 at alabama. they had four different offensive coordinators in their career. it toughened them. >> verne: handoff to fannin again. >> gary: then the last guy that might be leaving -- he's going to be a hot commodity -- is that man right there, gus malzahn. >> verne: yes. >> gary: what he's done at tulsa, and now here at auburn, putting up over 500 yards in this football game, 26 games, 11 times. >> verne: high school coach in springdale, arkansas for a while, hired by houston nutt to be the offensive coordinator at arkansas, wound up at tulsa. here is trotter, and the pass is complete. that's derek winter, number 87. the quarterback's job, we were told, was up for grabs in the spring. >> gary: interestingly, as trotter completes this pass to derek winter, had auburn not signed cam newton, trotter would have been the quarterback. they did not recruit another quarterback and they were not going to recruit one to this year's class. >> verne: redshirted in 2008. missed the season last year and was in a heated competition with newton for the starting spot in the spring. fannin. >> gary: on the other hand, south carolina is going to be returning a lot of football players. alshon jeffery returns. marcus lattimore returns. stephen garcia returns. they've got a lot of talent. a lot of firepower. people around south carolina say this is not a one-year deal. the foundation has been built and they're built for the long run. there is lattimore. >> verne: second down, six. >> gary: although i think that east is going to get much tougher next year. georgia will be a much improveded team next year. tennessee will will be. >> verne: trotter. oh, dear. from behind, hauled down at the 14 yard line. akeem auguste. leading the applause, skipping down toward the line of scrimmage. >> gary: and you can see, trotter does not have the first. you saw the a.c.l. surgery. before, he would have had the burst to score. he still isn't completely healthy from the injury. >> verne: 35-yard gain for trotter. >> verne: 3:19 to go. >> gary: can't imagine what that auburn-oregon game is going to look like. >> verne: i'm picking 70 points at least. >> gary: verne, do you want to fly in there and do the scoring? >> verne: "the geico recap." i'll take a token appearance on the other network. "hey, guys, i robbery through this before." >> gary: they usually do two in the booth, we'll have three color guys and one play-by-play man. >> verne: hard to absorb if you're a south carolina gamecock and you fought so hard to get here, but a brilliant performance by cam newton and his auburn tiger teammates. >> gary: you're right. that offensive line, no sacks in this game. cam ran away for about three of them. i think early in the game that was the difference in the game. >> verne: fannin. touchdown for the senior. >> gary: mario fannin got that big block early, remember, that pass play. out and up and now, what. 589 yards of total offense. not enough guys on the field. relax. you can even take a penalty. they're going to try it with 10. >> verne: neil caudle, third string quarterback who is the holder. >> verne: gene chizik better get set for a bath. this is dr. love and this is dr pepper cherry. it's got a little kiss of cherry flavor. you want cherry, how bout a little kiss! ♪"they call me..." ♪"dr love" you can't beat a little kiss...of cherry. trust me, i'm a doctor. we've gone through 14 seasons together. but in flag years, i'm like 130. now i'm just holding on by a... thread.
