Florida head coach Billy Napier along with offensive lineman Knijeah Harris and linebacker Shemar James met with the media on Wednesday to discuss the upcoming season opener against No. 19 Miami.

BILLY NAPIER

Highlights

  • Napier said that it is important for Florida to continue preparing right up to the game
  • Montrell Johnson Jr. being at the top of the depth chart means that they think he is ready to go
  • The blessing in disguise of Johnson being limited in camp was the other backs getting more reps
  • Florida is preparing to finish plays, finish drives and finish at the end of the games
  • Napier said he has a lot of belief in this group and they are fun to be around
  • He said it’s time to go play. There’s not much more to talk about
  • It’s been a good week for the offensive line. They have depth
  • Napier talked about how they discovered Kamryn Waites

KNIJEAH HARRIS

Highlights

  • This year compared to last year is a big jump for Harris as far as knowing what to do
  • He is excited for the challenge this weekend and for every opponent this year
  • Harris thinks the line will be better because of the togetherness, and discipline
  • He was able to experience college ball atmosphere by going to IMG Academy
  • Harris doesn’t focus on things like UF being an underdog
  • He said Watson is hard to block and is really athletic for his size

SHEMAR JAMES

Highlights

  • Missing the last part of last year with an injury, this will be James first game since October
  • James is excited to play against Miami’s run game
  • He said Grayson Howard showed consistency throughout camp
  • The plan is to keep Cam Ward in the pocket so he can’t make plays with his legs
