The question that ESPN is scared to ask and the "Red" section of USA today is unwilling to print.  

Kirk Herbstreit refuses to discuss and they can only keep Lou Holtz quiet for so long. One is a proven Big Ten veteran the other a JUCO transfer with a second chance at Division I glory.

Who is better, Cameron Newton or Terrelle Pryor?

The Heisman contenders are very similar as both wear the No. 2, both are 6'6" and both are arguably the best players in their respected conferences.  

The next few slides will either settle this dispute or prove that they were separated at birth...college football fans I ask, who are you with?

Readers give this a whirl and tell my you think your No. 2 is better than the other No. 2?

Both have bright futures and a match up against one another in a bowl game is a possibility, albeit small, who wins in the ring, the cage, on the field in basketball game?  

Let me have it...but Camzilla is better than Pryor!  I know what bothers Ohio State fans the most is it took Cam Newton five games what took Terelle Pryor three years to get in highlights...WOW
