AUBURN, Ala. (AP) – Cam Newton and No. 1 Auburn finally got to return to the football practice field – sort of.
The Tigers (13-0) and their Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback began preparation for the BCS national championship game against Oregon on Saturday night. But they’re doing it on the soccer field while their regular surface is being redone across the street.
Coach Gene Chizik says they’ll have to remain focused even “if we’ve got to practice in a parking lot.”
It might be a welcome respite for Newton after a seven-day whirlwind when he collected the Heisman, the Davey O’Brien Award and the Maxwell Award. He also read the Top 10 list for David Letterman and appeared on “Good Morning America.”
Newton says it’s nice just being around his teammates again.
