Auburn football quarterback Bo Nix (10) passes the ball during Auburn football A-Day spring game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, April 17, 2021.
Auburn football has found success over the years because of the explosive playmaking of the man under center.
When the Tigers shocked the world and ran the table in 2010, it was the brilliance of Heisman winner Cam Newton that elevated Auburn to the National Championship.
The next time Auburn football was in the National Championship game, it was Nick Marshall’s dynamic dual-threat profile that brought the team within minutes of its second national championship in four years and the chance to etch themselves in the record books as multi-time winners in the same decade.
