Prior to his junior season in 2011, his head coach, Sonny Dykes said that, “Cameron is not only light years ahead of where he was a year ago, but also ahead of any of Tech’s quarterbacks from the 2010 spring.”

Following his senior season in 2012, Cameron was awarded the Sammy Baugh Trophy as the nation’s top passer.

After missing the PAT, the game went into overtime with both teams scoring field goals on their possessions. During the second overtime period, Fujitsu failed to get a first down and settled for a field goal.
