We take a stroll around the SEC to see what others are writing and saying about the league:

Florida backup quarterback Cam Newton's legal problems are being cleared up, but he won't remain with the Gators, Florida Today's David Jones reports.

Columnist Kevin Scarbinsky of The Birmingham News writes that Nick Saban and Alabama will face something in 2009 the Crimson Tide didn't face to start last season -- lofty expectations.

Georgia loses another underclassman to the NFL draft, as cornerback Asher Allen announces that he's giving up his senior season to turn pro.

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier hopes some new blood on his offensive coaching staff will help revitalize the Gamecocks' offense, columnist Ron Morris of The State newspaper writes.

LSU coach Les Miles says the Tigers' difficulties in recent years against Tennessee's defense is what led him to John Chavis.
