"I think it's important for us to name a starting quarterback as soon as possible. That's the one true single leader for the offense and, really, the team." - Philip Lutzenkirchen, Auburn tight end.
"He's the fastest guy I've ever chased in my life, probably faster than the car I chase." - Kentucky linebacker Danny Trevathan on why he includes Florida's Jeff Demps in the conversation about the SEC's best running backs.
"It's a sure sign of how college football has grown nationally and especially in the SEC." - Kentucky head coach Joker Phillips noting more than 900 media credentials were issued for SEC Football Media Days.
"Coach, Ben Jones, University of Georgia. Do you trust the offensive line this year?" - Georgia's center, Ben Jones, asking Mark Richt a question in the media room.
"I think Ben Jones is the best center in America. I think he's going to win the Rimington." - Georgia coach Mark Richt's response.
"I think the jersey change is a great idea if you win and a bad idea if you lose." - Georgia coach Mark Richt on his team's use of black jerseys and other uniform changes as a motivational tool.
"It's not difficult if you win. It's not difficult if you win nine, 10, 11 a year, win the Eastern Division every other year, win the SEC every three or four years. It's not a problem at all. It's when you go 6-7, that's when it's a problem." - Georgia coach Mark Richt, on difficulty of longevity among SEC coaches.
"I feel like we're stacked everywhere. I feel confident in our guys, and I feel confident in what we're able to do. I know we're going to do some amazing things this year." - Georgia QB Aaron Murray.
"I think a guy said it best that I saw on one of my travels here recently. He told his girlfriend he would marry her when Auburn wins the national championship. I asked him, 'Were you together when the kick went through?' He said, 'Yeah.' I said, 'What did she say?' 'She said, "Better ante up now, big boy."' They're now married today." - Auburn coach Gene Chizik, reflecting on how few people believed a year ago that the Tigers would win the 2010 national championship.
"I sleep really good every night that my head hits the pillow." - Auburn coach Gene Chizik, responding to questions about an ongoing NCAA investigation into his program.
"Whatever one of the three gives us the best opportunity to win, that's who's going to be calling the shots on game day." - Gene Chizik, on his quarterbacks, including true freshman Kiehl Frazier.
"Two years ago when we had Chris Todd, we were still putting up points." - Auburn wide receiver Emory Blake on why the Tigers will still score without Cam Newton.
"It's pretty much everywhere. I go somewhere, and someone says something about it. It's funny that it's what I'll be remembered for, that touchdown more than any others. But it's all fun and games." - Auburn tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen on his 7-yard catch for the winning score in a 28-27 comeback victory at Alabama.
"I told everybody I was 8-7 in post-game handshakes last year. It was a remarkable feat. ... They asked me on this tour, they say, 'Hey, what was your greatest moment last year?' I said, 'Well, there were two of them. They just only lasted about 30 seconds.'" - Tennessee coach Derek Dooley, who had two apparent wins nullified by late penalties.
"If a coach is just taking away scholarships, kicking people off the team, the market is going to take care of it in recruiting. Who is going to want to go play for the guy? Allow the market to act." - Tennessee coach Derek Dooley, who doesn't support Mike Slive's proposal for multi-year scholarships.
"Everybody was, 'Well, what's going on at Tennessee today?'" - Tennessee running back Tauren Poole, on three consecutive seasons of turmoil there.
"Me, me and me." - Tennessee defensive lineman Malik Jackson on the Vols' three best defensive linemen.
