Jan 11, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Yesterdays’ BCS National Championship game that was held between Oregon Ducks and Auburn Tigers, was a delight to watch. Two of the significant players in yesterday’s match were Cam Newton from the winning team Auburn Tigers and Darron Thomas of Oregon Ducks.
These two players were the one who significantly drafted the fate of the match in the fourth quarter. While 2:33 left in the fourth Quarter, it was Darron Thomas who threw a successful conversion to Jeff Maehl across the field to tie the match to 19-19. Before that, the match seemed quite linear, all through out the third and the initial part of the fourth quarter. However, Ducks still required a two point conversion. Therefore, Darron Thomas called for a time out to line up his team properly. When 4:54 was left, Cam Newton ran towards the right but fumbled the ball. The penalty that followed, recovered the status of Oregon. The team took over the 1st and 10th from its own 45-yard line. However, that was perhaps the last significant action of the part of the Oregon Ducks and especially Darron Thomas. Soon Cam Newton and other players from Auburn started commanding the match, to bag the title. However, the 19 score on the part of Oregon has to be attributed to the performance of Darron Thomas.
Cam Newton finished 20 of 34 passes for 265 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Darron Thomas made 27 of 40 passes, with 363 yards, 2 Touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Cam Newton’s 2010 stats shows that his rating is 188.16, with 2,589 yards and 28 touchdowns. On the other hand, and very competitively, Darron Thomas has a rating of 151.06, with 2,518 yards and the same number of touchdown, that is 28. However, if their career stat is compared then Darron Thomas has more yardings and touchdowns. Where Cam Newton made 2,643 yards and 28 touchdowns, Darron Thomas made 2,786 yards and 31 Touchdowns.
