Auburn Survives Clemson in 2010 Overtime

Every journey to a national title is filled with close calls. Auburn survived two of them in overtime of the third game of 2010, against Clemson. First was Clemson QB Kyle Parker’s near-TD pass to a wide-open Jaron Brown. A catch would have sent Clemson home with a 30–27 victory, but instead they were forced to kick a game-tying field goal.

When Catntanzaro’s second attempt went wide left, the Auburn crowd went hysterical with relief. Little did Auburn know that it was embarking on a championship season.

Fresh from the Republican National Convention, Romney met up with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal south of New Orleans, his motorcade passing by flooded homes and submerged gas stations as residents stood in water where there should have been front lawns. While New Orleans was spared major damage, the storm walloped surrounding suburbs, topping smaller levees with days of rain and forcing more than 4,000 from their homes. Asked what a private citizen can accomplish by visiting the Gulf, Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said the GOP nominee had talked with Gulf officials about focusing public attention on the region, "particularly the need for charitable donations and resources to aid relief efforts."
