Despite his newfound wisdom, Newton still didn't know his next step.
He narrowed his choices to Auburn and Mississippi State, where former
Florida offensive coordinator Dan Mullen was the head coach. <span style="font-weight: bold;">"For
a long time, I thought I was going to Mississippi State," Newton said.
"You could just see the great things he had in store for Mississippi
State. There were a lot of guys buying into Coach Mullen's philosophy.</span>
Me coming here was probably the hardest thing, but you walk by faith and
not by sight."</p>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Newton said his parents helped him
decide on Auburn</span>, where he would have to digest Malzahn's offense and
beat out three other quarterbacks to win the starting job. The offense,
it turned out, wasn't so tough. "From the outside in, it looks very
hard," Newton said. "But when you get to the core of the offense, it's
pretty much surrounded by the basic things. It's not as hard as people
think -- or as I thought it was going to be."</p>
