Auburn formally retired Cam Newton’s No. 2 jersey at halftime against No. 10 Georgia on Saturday night, engraving his name and number into Jordan-Hare Stadium amid a light show.

Newton became the fourth player in program history to receive the honor.

His No. 2 joins Pat Sullivan’s No. 7, Terry Beasley’s No. 88 and Bo Jackson’s No. 34 as an untouchable number in Auburn football history.
