Updates will be in this post once William Muschamp starts answering questions at 12:30 p.m.
--Team started work on Florida today. Said they did some good on good work. The Gators have a lot of experience on the offensive side of the ball.
--Trask is a "really good football player." Does a good job moving around in the pocket and extending plays. Kyle Pitts is one of the best tight ends in the country and the best they'll face this year.
--They have four seniors on the offensive line and the skill people are really good that present some challenges.
--Todd Grantham is a guy Muschamp respects and they replaced a lot of talent from last season.
--Injuries: Israel Mukuamu and Jahmar Brown moved around and looked good. Alex Huntley will likely be out this week. Sherrod Green has a small fracture in his hip and will miss 4-6 weeks. Said it's an unusual injury and won't require any surgery.
--Said they got "physically whipped" at the tight end position in the run game. They needed better to get better at the right guard and right tackle position on the offensive line. They need to run the better and they did that in the second half.
--Need more guys to step up at the receiver spot. Said more guys need to win in man coverage. Luke Doty is going to get more chances Saturday. Said teams are going to throw a lot of man coverage at them and they'll need to handle it.
--Florida is very balanced, said they present a lot of different match up issues. Rattles through three or four names they have to deal with and the fact that the line is experienced is a challenge.
--Really proud of Parker White of responding after a tough freshman year. Has all the confidence in the world in Parker White.
--Said if on Saturday it was 4th and 7 they would have gone for it. If they didn't have three timeouts, they would have gone for it on 4th and 12.
--No timeline for Jalen Brooks and his appeal.
--Bobo is going to try now to try and get Shi Smith some touches in unique ways. Teams are going to key on him a little bit more so they're going to try and motion him a little more, try and scheme him open a little more.
--Collin Hill has a calm demeanor and exudes confidence on the offensive team. Said he didn't panic down 21-7 and that permeated to the other offensive players.
--Defense needs to limit explosive plays. Said Florida gets a lot of off-rhythm throws and it results in broken plays that can go for big chunk yardage.
--Said receivers have to create more separation by stretching the field vertically and keeping the double move in mind.
--Damani Staley is going to be first team WIL and Mo Kaba will be his backup. Jahmar Brown can also play there.
--Said the issue defensively in the third quarter where guys didn't maintain gap control and then when it was time to make a play guys didn't make plays. They have to force turnovers, and they haven't done that in camp well and need to be better there.
--"As long as we're scoring and winning" it doesn't matter about force feeding a guy. Said they want to score and move the ball.
--Asked about doing anything different practicing special teams this week, said a lot of it falls on players doing better. Said he felt like communication was there and execution was off.
Said end of the game kills you, but it wasn't all bad as far as special teams. In practice said they did more live work than they've ever done.
--On the video that surfaced: "It was an outtake between me and Justin King. I apologize if I offended anybody."
--Team will have a handful of different protocols with a smaller travel roster, distancing on the plane, hotel, transportations. Said all the team nutritionists will handle the pregame meal. Just a different world they're living in.
--Said it's hard to mirror and mimic Pitts and Trask. Said with Dan Mullen if a play works against a team he'll keep going back to it from different formations and try to wear it out until it doesn't work. Also said he's really creative in the run game.
--Asked about determining which defensive tackles play, said it's about Tracy Rocker evaluating on a series by series basis. Said they're getting good push with Keir Thomas and Jabari Ellis because of the girth they provide in the middle.
