"Notre Dame needs Tommy Rees more than Rees needs Notre Dame. And after three years of the other
way around, that might not be such a bad thing. Not once in his previous three years did Rees begin the
season as the starting quarterback. Not once did he go through offseason workouts as the team's starter,
running voluntary workouts, leading his teammates, building team chemistry. …[Rees] is here to save the
day." — Matt Hayes, Sporting News
"I don't really know how you could call the season a fluke. We went 12-1. If you want to call it a fluke,
you can call it a fluke. I think that's foolish. We're going to go out this year and we're going to continue
to play how we play." — Senior cornerback Bennett Jackson
"They know what to expect the next time they play for the national title, which, according to [junior
Stephon] Tuitt, will be in January. … Though the Irish must replace eight starters from last year — including quarterback Everett Golson, who was suspended for the season for academic reasons — there
shouldn't be a significant drop in overall talent because Brian Kelly's past three recruiting classes have
been among the best in the nation." — Lars Anderson, Sports Illustrated
"Some of the best competitive practices that I've coached in a long time. We haven't played a game and
I'm not saying that equals 13 wins. But I've coached a lot of football and it's very competitive. It's fast. It's
as fast as I've seen here at Notre Dame." — Head coach Brian Kelly after one week of preseason practice
