Auburn may well end up looking back on its final drive against Kentucky on Saturday night as the defining moment of this season.

It’s the kind of drive championship teams come up with when they've got to have them.

Remember Alabama’s drive in the final minutes to beat Auburn last season?

Well, Auburn’s 19-play drive to set up Wes Byrum’s 24-yard field goal as time expired allowed the Tigers to escape 37-34 against Kentucky and remain unbeaten.

It was one of those games where Auburn might have lost some focus in the second half after jumping out to a big lead. But the Tigers didn’t lose their poise.

And the rest of the league might want to get used to hearing these two words -- Cameron Newton.

He rushed for a career-high 198 yards and four touchdowns and is that offensive weapon that nobody else in the league can duplicate.

And to this point, nobody’s been able to tackle him, either.
