All right, I've had time to sift through some quotes. Here's what Auburn's coaches and players had to say after Saturday's scrimmage at Jordan-Hare Stadium:

• The news on the quarterbacks Saturday was that there was no news. All four continued to rotated. Coaches said when a quarterback went in, he stayed with the unit for the entire drive. "First glance it appears most of them were really high percentage today in terms of completion," head coach Gene Chizik said. "It just seemed like the percentage today was terrific."

• Cam Newton had a solid day, throwing a screen pass to Darvin Adams that went for a touchdown. "Darvin made my life easy," Newton said. "It was just a little screen pass, and he did the rest."

• Newton showed off his legs, running for a score on a draw play. "I think Cameron is just a big, physical guy," Chizik said. "Whenever he decides to bring the football down and run it, whether it be long-yardage or short-yardage, you have your hands full trying to tackle him. Certainly if it's on the goal line and he decides to stretch out with the ball, that's definitely going to be tough on defenses."

• Linebacker Craig Stevens on Newton: "He's a major threat when he comes in. He can run. You don't really know what to expect from him. You have to stay on your P's and Q's and be ready. He can beat you in a lot of ways. He was working it today."

• Newton said he's gaining confident with every scrimmage. "It’s a day-to-day process," he said. "I feel like I’m getting more comfortable. I’m just getting the timing down with different receivers. That’s really the most important thing to me right now: Getting comfortable, getting my feet in and knowing where I’m supposed to me going with the ball each and every play."

• As for the quarterback decision, it's still a work in progress. "We're getting closer," offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn said. "We found out more today but like I've said before, you've always got to go back and see the film. Certain things you may think is somebody's fault, you find out it's really not until you actually see the whole picture. All are capable of moving our offense. That's the positive. The hard part and the challenge part, which is the good thing, is they're all quality quarterbacks."

• Cornerback Demond Washington had a couple of picks. Neil Caudle was to blame for at least one. "I helped make Demond’s highlight film today," he said.

• Malzahn wasn't pleased with the picks. There were three. Washington had two. Woody Parramore had the third. Malzahn declined to say who threw all of them. "We've got to correct the mistakes," he said. "We've got to be able to execute. That's what I've told the guys. It's great we had some plays but the thing that stands out in my mind is we've got to correct the mistakes and not put the ball in jeopardy."

• Chizik has been pleased with Washington's development at corner. "I think he's learning," Chizik said. "You got to remember he came in last year, last spring. To a certain degree, he's played a year, but this is the first time we've really been able to zero in with him and teach him how to play corner with any time to really teach. I think he's picking up the position a lot better. Good to see him make a couple big plays."

• Mario Fannin broke off a 65-yard run. Antoine Carter said the defense blitzed and the offense ran a play to the other side. Byron Isom gave a block to spring Fannin, who jukedMike McNeil before getting into the end zone. "Those are the type of things we expect from our tailbacks," Chizik said. "Those plays have to happen in our offense. There were times when more than one guy made that happen today. The tailbacks, their vision was really, really good and they were able to make some of those slicing routes back against the grain, and that's usually when you're big runs occur."

• Some view Fannin as a place-holder until highly-touted freshman Michael Dyer gets to campus. Fannin isn't concerned about it. "Really, you know, I don't go into the hype," he said. "I had a lot of hype when I came in and that's something that's going to happen. He's a freshman guy, he's young and a lot of people are going to be excited about him. I'm excited about him. The hype's going to be there, but it's more me just trying to stay focused and learn the position well and become the best person for that job. I'm just trying to stay focused and press forward."

• From the sounds of it, Emory Blake and DeAngelo Benton had a solid scrimmage. Both are making a push for more playing time this year as a third receiver. "Those younger guys, it's not always about catching the football, that's the easy part," Malzahn said. "Doing all the dirty stuff, the little things, the blocking, understanding when to run people off, both those guys are starting to understand better. The more confidence that coach Taylor and myself have in those guys in those situations will help us. We talked about depth last year, trying to find a third or fourth guy. Those two guys right here we really need to step up. The good thing is you can see them getting better."

• Blake seems to have embraced doing the dirty work. "My job is to block well in the perimeter and make plays as a receiver," he said. "Whatever I can do to do that, whether it's catching balls on screens and making plays in open space or going deep and going over the top, I'm going to do it."
