Auburn football: Best quotes from the SEC championship game

“It’s not even sunk in. I’ve just been living the dream.”

-- Auburn quarterback Cam Newton

“When you look at the 13-game span, I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s running the ball. It’s throwing the ball. Usually great quarterbacks do one or the other better. What God has blessed Cameron with is the ability to be really, really good at both.”

-- Auburn coach Gene Chizik

“You can’t tackle him. He’s almost a one-man show but those guys really help and their receivers are really good. With that offensive line and him, it’s hard to stop him.”

-- South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier

“We can still tell recruits you can be on that first Southeastern Conference championship team. I can still say that. Going into my seventh year, I can still say that. We’ll make it happen one day.”

-- Spurrier

“Darvin is the definition of a complete football player. He blocks. He catches. And whatever Coach (Gene Chizik) asks him to do, he’s willing to do it. And that just goes to show you, what he did today, just the little things that we see every single day out of Darvin Adams.”

-- Newton

“I was just trying to make my catches. It’s just my job to catch it when they throw it to me.”

-- Adams

“I don’t like to put anybody at the top. He’s certainly one of the best quarterback runners probably to ever come through college ball. It will be interesting to watch him in pro ball because he dodges people. He doesn’t take hard hits with a helmet. They can’t do it.”

-- Spurrier
