We posted Gene Chizik's

of Cam Newton during his press conference Tuesday, but the written word doesn't really do justice to the emotion in the Auburn coach's voice.

Watch the video and hear Chizik for yourself as he defends his quarterback after stories that attacked Newton's recruitment to Mississippi State and his academic standing with Florida. No one has said Auburn has done anything wrong with Newton.

Newton

after Chizik, who was the more emotional of the two. We'll have Newton video is a bit.

"Cameron Newton is one of the young men on our football team that has not only excelled as a tremendous athlete, he has done everything we have asked him to do since the day he stepped on campus at Auburn,'' Chizik said. "So I want to make this very clear, because I'm wasting my time addressing allegations that completely to be frank, blow my mind that they're even out there because there are federal privacy laws that dictate that these things don't even get out in public.

"But I'm standing up here on a very important week trying to defend something that quite frankly is garbage. Is there a wizard behind the curtain? I don't know. Is there one, is there two, are there 10? I don't know and I don't care. But what I do care about is coming to the defense of not only a great football player but a great human being who comes from a great family."
