What performances stand out in recent Auburn history?

In the last decade, the Auburn Tigers have been to two national championships and have had nine winning seasons and have consistently been ranked in the top 25. That level of success wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for a few select players who put the team on their backs when it mattered most.

Stars like Cam Newton, Derrick Brown and Nick Marshall have taken the field for the Tigers in the past decade and while their greatness is well known, do they have any single game that stands out in the annals of program history?

Whether it be from a pure statistics standpoint or a player’s ability to make clutch plays in the biggest game of the season, these five players will not be forgotten by Auburn fans any time soon.

I’m also limiting this to one game per player or else this whole list could probably be filled with Cam Newton.
