Audibles with CBS Sports' Lead College Football Analyst Gary Danielson

(On Rematch of 2008 SEC Championship): It would be impossible to talk about this game and not underline the fact that both these teams played last year. Like Florida's Ryan Stamper told us, ‘We want them and they want us.' I think that's all you have to say about the game.

(On Carlos Dunlap): He's one of the best players in college football. He is a type of player where Alabama's offense must identify where he is. They must help whoever's blocking him with tight ends and running back. His absence will change the strategy of the football game.
