Where does Cam Newton's 2010 rank among greatest individual seasons in SEC history?

Super Bowl 50 is obviously a game that Cam Newton would love to forget.

But his struggles against the Denver Broncos brought to mind how great he was in 2010, when he won the Heisman Trophy en route to bringing home a BCS National Championship for Auburn with a 22-19 win over Oregon.

That season was truly a great one for Newton, both individually and for the Tigers. But where does it rank among the greatest individual seasons in SEC history?

Here are the six that should be considered the greatest:

1. Tim Tebow, Florida, 2007

The magnetic left-hander finished with an SEC-record 55 total touchdowns, becoming the first player in NCAA history for throw and run for 20-plus TDs in the same season.

He also compiled 4,181 total yards, throwing for 3,286 of them and 32 scores while tossing just six picks. He also sandwiched that year’s Heisman Trophy between national championships in 2006 and 2008.

2. Cam Newton, Auburn, 2010

Newton’s one year on the Plains was an incredible one. The 6-6, 250-pounder rushed for an SEC-leading 1,473 yards and showed he much of a dual threat could be by finishing with a conference-record 182.05 passing efficiency rating, which was second in the FBS behind Boise State’s Kellen Moore.

He ran for 170 yards or more in four straight SEC games, including 198 in a comeback victory at Kentucky. He was even better on the ground against LSU, rushing for a career-high 217 yards against the Tigers, including a superb 49-yard scoring scamper in the third quarter.

But his best performance of the season clearly came against South Carolina in the SEC Championship Game, when he threw for a career-best 335 yards and accounted for 6 total TDs in Auburn’s 56-17 romp. He would finish with an FBS-leading 51 total touchdowns and a then-SEC record 4,327 total yards.

3. Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M, 2012

It wasn’t that long ago when Johnny Football was in a much better place. He set the SEC record for single-game total offense with 557 yards against Arkansas – eclipsing the previous best of 540 yards set by Archie Manning of Ole Miss in 1969 and matched by LSU’s Rohan Davey in 2001 — then broke his record two weeks later with 576 yards against Louisiana Tech.

He also finished with 47 total TDs and 5,116 total yards, breaking Newton’s record.

In addition, he helped Texas A&M beat top-ranked Alabama in Tuscaloosa on his way to becoming the first freshman – albeit a redshirt – to win the Heisman Trophy. He capped that season with a 41-13 win over Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl.

4. Herschel Walker, Georgia, 1980

The Georgia great ran for 1,616 yards and 15 TDs as a freshman and helped propel the Bulldogs to a 12-0 season, and SEC title and their last national championship, which they earned with a 17-10 victory over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Walker also finished third in that year’s Heisman vote behind South Carolina senior running back George Rogers and Pittsburgh senior defensive lineman Hugh Green. In case you were wondering, Rogers rushed 297 times for 1,781 yards and 14 TDs for a Gamecocks team that lost its last two games to finish 8-4.

5. Bo Jackson, Auburn, 1985

Check out these numbers: 278 carries, a then-school record 1,786 yards and 17 TDs. Jackson won the Heisman that season despite the Tigers’ 8-4 finish, which included a 36-16 loss to Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl. Tre Mason broke Jackson’s single-season school mark with 1,816 rushing yards in 2013.

6. Derrick Henry, Alabama, 2015

Henry set SEC season rushing records with 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns in his only season as Alabama’s full-time starter. As important, he helped the Crimson Tide topped Clemson in the national championship game to finish 14-1.
