Dak Prescott compared to Cam Newton by Auburn coach

Auburn plays at Mississippi State on Saturday in a huge SEC West showdown, and Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said the opposing quarterback conjures memories of a recent Auburn star.

On his weekly "Tiger Talk" radio show Monday night, Malzahn was asked to compare Mississippi State star Dak Prescott to former Auburn Heisman winner Cam Newton, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft and now plays for the Carolina Panthers.

"He’s got some similarities," Malzahn said, as per al.com writer Brandon Marcello "He’s a big, physical guy. A lot of times in short yardage, he’ll find a way to get it."

Malzahn was the offensive coordinator on the 2010 Auburn team quarterbacked by Newton that won the national title.

NFL Week 5 viewer"s guide

The Green Bay Packers made easy work of the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, but there’s still a full slate of games on Sunday. Around The NFL’s Kevin Patra fills you in on the key storylines for each matchup. Here’s your guide as you settle into your couch for all the NFL action.

Cam Newton admitted this week he hasn’t been as mobile as he thought following offseason ankle surgery. One area he has improved is the deep ball. With rookie Kelvin Benjamin stretching defenses, the Panthers already have nine receptions of 20-plus yards in the air — last season they had 12 total. Expect more of that against a shaky Bears back end.

Jay Cutler has played well on the road this season, throwing for six touchdowns and zero interceptions. However, he’s thrown for 300-plus yards only once in his last 25 road games. The Bears need Good Jay verses a Panthers defense that knows it must bounce back from two poor performances.
