Auburn's No.1 QB is Cam...for Now

Cam Newton didn’t know whether to scream or smile when coaches informed him Wednesday that he is Auburn’s No. 1 quarterback coming out of spring practice.
Instead, he calmly processed the information, knowing his work is not done.
“This is not the end of the road,” Newton said Thursday. “If anything, the microscope gets more focused on what I really do on and off the field.”
Auburn’s quarterback situation is not finalized , Newton was tabbed the No. 1 guy for only now, not the 2010 season’s starter, but the picture became much clearer after head coach Gene Chizik and offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn sat down with the junior to inform him of his ascension to the top of the list.
“We think it’s very critical, especially at that position, to be able to have that leadership going through the summer,” Chizik said. “Who is the guy? We felt like that was an important part of the puzzle for the next three months.
“The difference between this time and last year is we didn’t have all the information on all the quarterbacks last year. It’s a little bit different scenario.”
