Florida head coach Billy Napier, offensive guard Bryce Lovett, and defensive end TJ Searcy met with the media on Monday to discuss the loss to No. 5 Texas and the upcoming game against No. 21 LSU.

BILLY NAPIER

BILLY NAPIER: All right, ready to go? Okay, before we get to LSU I think it’s important that we talk about Veteran’s Day. Obviously this weekend is our opportunity to salute those who serve. I do think that in general this is a day to come together and pay tribute to a lot of the brave people who have selflessly served in our Armed Forces.

I think sometimes some of these freedoms we have, the way of life we have, we take for granted. Most of the time adults understand the importance, but I think we feel obligated to help educate our players. We’ll have a speaker come in each day the week this week from each branch of our military.

I think ultimately, we need to show gratitude for their service. It’s important for them to know what military life is like, acknowledge our veterans from the past. That level of sacrifice I think is very special. We need to continue to honor the men and women who serve in our military, who have served and who continue to serve.

There are values that need to be taught in terms of patriotism, empathy, gratitude. So today is an important day for a lot of reasons.

Certainly going to take advantage of this week. We look forward to this weekend. I do think LSU, as usual, has a good football team. I think they’re talented. Had their ups and downs throughout the season. Coach Kelly runs a good program. They’ve overhauled the defensive staff. Certainly a veteran quarterback, although a first-time starter, has significant experience, has been in the program, been in the system with Nussmeier. Really unique kick returner and punt returner that can be a challenge.

Overall, the personnel that you would expect from an LSU team. So the combination of all this, we do anticipate getting healthier. Hopeful to get a handful of guys back this week. We had a lot of them that were close to being available this past Saturday that didn’t quite turn around in time.

But in general, very important week. Excited to be back home. Look forward to the challenge here playing this LSU team.

What questions do we have?

Q. Some of the guys on the injury list, had it been a championship game last week, would they have been — could they have played if it was one of those nothing-to-lose situations?

BILLY NAPIER: I don’t think so. I think all those guys, Badger, Montrell, Damien, Devyn, DJ. I’m trying to think of some of the others. In general, I think they would have been game-time decisions if that were the case.

Even those guys that were listed that way, I think after watching pre-game they weren’t ready to go. Big picture, we got a bunch of guys. They’re doing everything humanly possible to play. I mean, that’s one of the things I respect about the group.

We had a bunch of guys play banged up to be quite honest with you. In general I think I we gout out of that game and we’re hopeful we get some of those guys back.

Q. … was saying he’s never been around so many injuries in-game couple of games ago. Is this the most banged up roster you’ve had in seven seasons?

BILLY NAPIER: I think we’re just a little bit more aware of it because we get an injury report Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and 90 minutes before the game.

Look, your depth is always going to be challenged, and when you play in this league, and certainly with our non-conference schedule, we have played a very competitive schedule.

So I think we’re more equipped probably than we have been. Just playing with threes in some spots. That’s ultimately what I would say. Typically your twos are going to play at every position throughout the year. Very rarely does a starter play front to back the whole time.

You’re always going to have a little bit of that. So when you get to your third, that’s when you ultimately — that’s unique.

Q. Do you have a fourth at quarterback?

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah. Clay is…

Q. Did you consider at any point maybe just trying kicking the tires on him when the team was struggling the other day?

BILLY NAPIER: I don’t necessarily think — no. No. I think ultimately, a lot of that I think we were very aware of what was happening. It wasn’t necessarily Aidan as much as just in general. I think we can play better around him at times, and then it is what it is at that point.

You can only get so many people ready to play.

Q. I know the season isn’t over yet, but to this point what would you self-assess things like playcalling, offensive game planning from week to week from where you were…

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah, I’m not ready to do any of that. Focused on LSU right now.

Q. On the quarterback situation, how important will that be this off season to fill out that unit with four guys?

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah.

Q. You mentioned in the past, that is the number you want to be at scholarship-wise at that position.

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah. It’s a position where we’ll add players for sure. We’re in the process of doing that. That can be a challenge when you have a really talented young player.

It’s important. It’s a big piece of the puzzle. We been grinding away on it for a long time.

Q. How much of that, given the landscape of college sports, how much of that has to occur now during the season when you’re trying to prepare for games? Are you at a point where you’re looking for guys that have a future in the portal? How does that work?

BILLY NAPIER: I think what you’re describing there is definitely a piece of the puzzle here down the stretch. I think the combination of early signing period and the portal window, paired with November football and how competitive and important these games are, that is one of the more challenging things about college football right now.

I think every coach has expressed that publically. We have extensive — I mean, our personnel department is working around the clock. We have windows of time where we evaluate players every week.

Just this week, I’ll be up here Wednesday night; be up here early Friday morning. Those are my two blocks of time each week. So those guys are grinding around the clock and then obviously the coaches as well and that gets funneled to me.

Two times a week we have blocks for evaluating the players. What you’re describing, it becomes even more — there is just more whatever you want to call it, rumors or anticipation. I think some of that starts it ramp up in November.

Q. How much progress has DJ made in the 48 hours since the game, and do you anticipate him being able to practice more than individual drills starting today?

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah. Well, good thing is we worked him out this morning and felt good about what we saw. You know, so now, does that mean he’s 100%? I don’t necessarily — soft tissue is a very subjective issue. I think it’s day-to-day.

But we do anticipate him practicing today.

Q. Follow up on Jacob’s question: Are you spending more time evaluating like — your two blocks, is that different than previous years?

BILLY NAPIER: No. I think you’ve got to watch senior tape on guys. You have to get out in front of portal opportunities. And then obviously sometimes it’s 26s that are pressing if that makes sense.

So just in general, I think the key is that you got the self-discipline to follow through every week, and you got to have a process. It’s year-round. Our blocks of time are year-round at this point.

Q. Went through a stretch in kind of late September, early October where the tight ends were really involved in the pass game. How do you get them involved in the late stretch?

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah, no, I’m with you. I think about that as well. I do think we need to be a little bit more intentional. I think sometimes it’s structure on defense where the matchups are. What are the fronts, the protections. Obviously the coverage is a big piece of that as well.

Definitely want to get those guys more involved. That’s a big piece to the puzzle the next couple weeks.

Q. Scott gave you the vote of confidence lat week. Did you guys sit down and have conversations about where this is headed and maybe potentially — I know you don’t want to get into staff changes — but things you want to see different or expect to see different moving forward?

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah, I think it’ll be much like most years that I’ve been a head coach. I think we kind of back up and take a big picture look at the organization as a whole. You know, what areas are thriving? What areas need to be revamped?

Look there is an evolution to the game in terms of how you format the organization, job descriptions, work flows, and a big piece of that puzzle in the revenue share that begins on July 1st.

So just the front office component, making progress towards that. Then you’re always going to evaluate the nuts and bolts, right, the coaching, the development piece. I think we’ve made a few changes each year. I think it’ll be the same this year.

Q. Did you expect that from Scott?

BILLY NAPIER: You know, in-season, man, I’m grinding. I’m trying to get the most out of our players. What I would say is I think it’s a reflection of our players. We don’t get it done. We don’t show signs of improvement. And look, let me say this: I am absolutely not satisfied with how we played. Now, we have done some good things. It’s nowhere close to what it’s got to be consistently for us to be a contender. That’s ultimately what I’m spending my time on.

Any belief or hope or confidence in what we can become is due to the players and the way they performed the last five or six weeks. We need to continue to improve.

Q. Does that alleviate back-of-mind thinking? I mean, you’re human.

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah. I mean, I think for me, what I’m trying to do is I’m trying to do my best, man. I would say my obligation is to the players. I want to see them have success on the field, off the field. Ultimately when you’re in the middle of the season you’re trying to put that puzzle together every week for the players.

That’s all parts. That’s motivating, leadership, strategy, you know, that’s kind of directing the organization as a whole. So, yeah, I think for me, other things motivate me. Not necessarily worried about that much.

Q. Where did you learn to kind of block out distractions? You seem like kind of different than a lot of the people in that respect.

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah, I mean, I think it’s — ultimately for me it’s about purpose. I view coaching in that regard relative to, yeah, just I think it’s stewardship. It’s an obligation to do the best for your people, staff included. I think you have to model what you would want from the players.

I think consistency is important. Look, if we’re all over the place and we’re not motivated by external things and we are distracted and lack self-discipline and we’re not everyday people, then I think ultimately we have to rub off on the players and we have to model what we would want from a the players.

Now, we’ve done a good job of that at times. We’ve been very inconsistent. So yeah, we’re getting closer is what I would say. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Obviously disappointed with Saturday’s to some degree. I do think our group is trending in the right direction. We’re not there yet.

Q. How much did you spend Sunday going over that Texas tape? Anything else you gleaned in terms of the slow start? You got down 42-nothing.

BILLY NAPIER: No, I think we combed it like never before. Ultimately for me, yeah, turned the ball over three times. Didn’t defend them very well. Matchups were not good.

You know, we got to focus on the things that we can control: Our fundamentals, our communication, our leverage, tackling, our protection, decision making at quarterback.

That’s what we got to focus on. That’s ultimately what caused the problems.

Q. Tackling you pointed out wasn’t very good. I think on seven of their touchdowns five were guys not touched.

BILLY NAPIER: Correct.

Q. Is that blowing assignments on the back end? I mean can you put your finger on…

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah, no, I think, yeah, all of those were a little bit of some communication errors, some missed assignments, and I think just in general, on the perimeter we didn’t tackle well. We missed tackles at inside backer, missed tackles in the secondary. I thought we played with the wrong leverage on a few occasions.

So, yeah, just in general, just basic fundamentals, tackling, leveraging, coverage. Some of those guys out there, they’re playing different positions, but it is what it is.

Q. The way they move guys around how much was eye discipline a problem in that game?

BILLY NAPIER: That was a huge piece of the puzzle is the adjustments dealing with the motions. I think ultimately some of the issues were relative to that.

Q. How much (indiscernible) play a factor against this LSU offense?

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah, you’re a couple weeks ahead. I’m glad you’re not coaching our team. I’m joking with you.

No, I think, yeah, just in general, I think the lesson here is what does winning football look like? I think when we’ve had point of attack wins we’ve had good gap integrity, communicated well, played with the right leverage in the secondary, tackled well, in the core, on the perimeter.

I think that’s when we have had success playing defense. When we haven’t done that is when we’ve had issues. I think to your point, I don’t necessarily think that LSU — I think it’s a different structure.

So look, the trend of offensive football is to copy what has worked against you. We do that each week. I think that’s big component. What do they have conceptually that that’s very similar? We are going to make sure we practice them.

Q. Any thoughts on Garrett Nussmeier? Had a stint here and then his father. Every cross paths with him?

BILLY NAPIER: First of all, his dad is an incredible football coach. One of the best coaches I’ve ever been around. Just a great human being. Great family. I can remember when Nuss was running around the Alabama facility.

So, yeah, great high school player. I can remember evaluating him coming out. Incredibly productive, Scrappy coach’s son that has a great feel for the game.

Waited his turn, which is respectable in my opinion. Now, obviously leading their team and has done a good job of that.

Q. When it comes to recruiting, to what extent do you think uncertainty plays a role? What impact will it have now that you have this vote of confidence?

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah, it’s definitely been one of the uphill battles that we faced to be quite honest. Probably the only one to be honest with you. I think ultimately we’re hopeful over the next month or so that — really 65 days I think before the winter acquisition period is over, whether that’s high school or portal.

About 60 days or so where we’ll be working extremely hard to add good players to the team. Yeah, it definitely helps.

Q. Saw Jadan Baugh a couple times in Wildcat setups. He has some experience doing that. How much can that be a factor as you figure things out at quarterback still?

BILLY NAPIER: Well, Jadan obviously did it a lot in high school. I think it’s one of the more impressive things about him is his ability to manage that. KD is that way as well. He did the same thing in high school.

Look, it’s a wrinkle. It worked Saturday. You know, obviously each week is a little bit different depending on who is available for the game. We got some of that built. Built some systems for that. Always available.

Look, it’s something that’s another punch list item on the DC list that makes us harder to defend.

Q. KD is not on the injury report anymore. What is his availability like? What do you consider him? I know there are redshirt implications there.

BILLY NAPIER: Yeah, no, he was the third back Saturday. So, yeah, he’s very much in the mix as we’re kind of seeing where Montrell is at. That’s a good thing, because KD had a good spring. He was very productive in the scrimmages. Had a good training camp. Be good for him to be back out there.

BRYCE LOVETT

Q. First career start. What did it mean for you?

BRYCE LOVETT: It meant a lot. It felt good to be able to step up when one of my brothers went down.

Going out there and being able to play hard and play for my teammates, that just felt good overall. Doesn’t matter how the game went.

Q. Billy got a vote of confidence last Thursday. What do you think maybe behind the scenes — the results are the results, but maybe some of the things he’s done to engender that from Scott Stricklin.

BRYCE LOVETT: Can you repeat the question?

Q. Why do you think Billy Napier received a vote of confidence from Scott Stricklin?

BRYCE LOVETT: Coach Napier, I am a player that committed to his staff and I really seen that culture he brings to the program and what he’s built and what he is continuing to build. I think he’s being noticed by athletic director Scott Stricklin and everybody else.

I feel like it’s something he deserves on top of something he’s earned. So, I think, yeah.

Q. What do you think stands out about the culture he created?

BRYCE LOVETT: One of the main things I liked when I was a recruit was it’s very family oriented, one big family. He’s just continuing to build that and get closer and closer. We work really hard, and I think that kind of ties in the family and everybody being so close.

It’s like — I don’t want to say it’s like something I’ve never seen before, but never been on a team where it’s been this tight. I feel like that’s something he brought to the team.

Q. This offensive line really has come a long way from September in terms of run blocking. What happened there in terms of the switch and why are you guys doing a better job?

BRYCE LOVETT: I think we always had it in us. We had to make a decision. Early in the season, well, not — yeah, early in the season we had to make a decision. We were either going to step it up or continue to struggle.

I think an unit we made that decision, the right decision to step it up.

Q. How did that come about? People talk about that open week where like a switch was flipped or what.

BRYCE LOVETT: Yeah, I really do think it was that first bye week. Not even just with as the O-line unit, I think the whole team was really just like it’s either now or never. We’re going to step up and put in the work and do what we have to do to start making progress or it’s going to be the same all season.

I think we came out and competed all week that week, and I think that’s really what started it.

Q. Was it tough walking off that field? You guys had shown so much against Georgia in terms of an elite team and being toe to toe. This game was completely different.

BRYCE LOVETT: Yeah, it was tough. That definitely hurt. One thing I like to say is control controllables. Obviously there is some things left on the field that we could have done differently to maybe change the pace of the game.

Just got to look ahead now. What’s in the past is in the past. Got to start preparing for LSU.

Q. Who set tone in the bye week? Was it the coaches saying, okay, we’re going to make this competitive or the players who said we’re going to make the most of this week? Who set the tone?

BRYCE LOVETT: I think the coaches definitely had a part of it by setting up the practices how they were set up. The players ultimately made the decision, like we need to lock in, start putting in the work, or like I said, it’s going to be a long season.

Q. Coming back to The Swamp, how much are the players and the coaches looking forward to that? What would be your message for fans as far as supporting you these last two games at home?

BRYCE LOVETT: I would say just stick with us. We’re putting in the work. We’re working hard. We’re going to do our best to finish out the season strong. That’s all I would say.

Q. Can you take us through your progress here from you came in to now. You’re starting to get some playing time. What’s that been like? Looking back now, what didn’t you know that you know now that you’re surprised about?

BRYCE LOVETT: I would just think like compared from now to when I came in a little bit of not experience, but my first year when I redshirted I got to see what it actually took to play and be a productive player, and I think I really needed that.

I think, yeah, having that first year to really develop and see what it takes to be a productive player on the offensive line, I think I needed that. That’s what’s the difference between this year and last year.

Q. Your positional versatility, just how does that feel like you think maybe enhance your ability to get on the field?

BRYCE LOVETT: Well, yeah, I feel like it gives me a lot more opportunities to get on field because I have five different options to get on the field, if that makes sense.

I play guard, I play tackle, I can play center. So if anybody goes down or if anybody needs a break, I’m willing to go in. If he puts me in, I’m ready to go in.

I like staying on standby — not standby, but always be prepared and ready to play any position is a big thing.

Q. Mentally what goes into that?

BRYCE LOVETT: There is definitely a lot of mental that goes into it. I have to stay on top of all propositions just if case. Our coaches make it not easy, but do they’re best to help me prepare and be ready for when the opportunity comes.

Q. Why is it so difficult to do that? You’re the unicorn when it comes to that.

BRYCE LOVETT: Why is it so difficult? I would say it’s difficult because you have to keep up with more than one thing. You have to focus on five different positions except for just one. Obviously your wires can get crossed.

Just being focused and trying to stay on top of those things is the hardest part, yeah.

Q. You have to be ambidextrous.

BRYCE LOVETT: Well…

Q. Because you’re in a different stance.

BRYCE LOVETT: I’m not. I wouldn’t say I am, but I would say definitely being flexible helps, because getting in to stances and different positions, that helps. Just practice really.

Q. Do you have a favorite spot?

BRYCE LOVETT: I’ve been getting asked that a lot recently. I wouldn’t say I have a favorite, no. I like getting moved around the. It’s like a challenge. If I play one position for two, three weeks, hey, we need you to come play this for a week or whatever, it’s a challenge. I get to go work at that and better myself.

Q. Jake Slaughter, a lot of people talk about him, leadership of the offensive line. What has he meant to you and how has he helped you along the way maybe?

BRYCE LOVETT: I wouldn’t know what to do without Jake. When I look at Jake he’s, like sounds weird, but almost like the father figure of the group. When I need something first person I think of is Jake.

Just to have that leader and big brother role in the room has been a huge part in my success.

Q. The one-two punch of Jadan, Ja’Kobi, what has that given this offensive?

BRYCE LOVETT: They’re two very powerful runners that know what they’re doing, and I feel like that’s opened up the run game for us a lot. On top of the O-line playing better and better every week.

I think the mix between that and the two running backs is the great way to open you out offense and the run game a little more.

Q. I was going to ask, kind of describe their styles. You said big backs. Jadan has a little more wiggle than you would think for 230.

BRYCE LOVETT: Yeah, you see him, he doesn’t look like a speed guy, but he has speed, twitch, power to him, so he can hit the holes and hit the fast breaks. He can also put his shoulder down and run through somebody.

And I also think the same with Ja’Kobi.

TJ SEARCY

Q. TJ, defense kind of bouncing back this week. I know it was kind of an up and down game against Texas. What’s the mindset like for you think you and a lot of players on offense?

TJ SEARCY: I think really the mindset moving forward is just we got to build off it, learn from the mistakes we made in the game. I feel like we didn’t tackle well, so we got clean that up coming into next week.

Q. What were some of the things that were working for you guys during that stretch where the defensive play was probably as good as it’s been in the last couple years here?

TJ SEARCY: Honestly I think it’s the rush and the secondary working together. Whenever the rush and the secondary work together, we all made plays.

Q. What did Texas do that maybe caused that to not happen this past week?

TJ SEARCY: I really think it was mistakes that we made. We made a lot of mistakes that we could have fixed ourselves and maybe looked better.

Q. Was that an eye discipline thing? Do you have any examples of that?

TJ SEARCY: I think certain technique plays. Like sometimes like certain plays guys not playing with their technique, getting out of gaps, and not coming down to the ball how they supposed to.

Q. What flipped the switch early on? People have pointed to the open date where everybody started playing, not just defense, but the team. What is your view on that?

TJ SEARCY: I think what flipped the switch was how we practice. We practiced really competitive throughout the open date and practice has been the same since.

So we started competing a lot on offense and defense at practice. I think that’s what is helping us.

Q. How important is it to qualify for a bowl game for you guys?

TJ SEARCY: I think it’s definitely very important for me. It means a lot because last year I didn’t get one, so I definitely want to experience one.

Q. What did it mean to you guys last week when you heard that Coach Napier got a vote of confidence and will be around next year?

TJ SEARCY: Yeah, definitely. I was very excited when I heard it. You know, I was a part of one of his first recruiting classes to come in. I see the vision that he has for the program and I know that we definitely could get there.

Q. What is his vision? I mean, a championship program obviously. What do you think are some of the steps he wants to continue to take?

TJ SEARCY: I think he’s doing a great job right now of instilling beliefs and core values in us that’s going to carry on and lead us to that championship team we need to be.

Q. I know you can’t read your teammates’ minds, but what did you sense when you coach got that vote of confidence? Did it galvanize the team?

TJ SEARCY: I think the team got a vote of confidence with that. Everybody kind of stood up around it like now it’s time for us to prove that he deserves this. We can turn this around.

Q. Coming back home To the Swamp, what does that mean for you and your players? What would be your message to fans in terms of support the next couple games?

TJ SEARCY: Honestly, I think I would just say I appreciate all the love and support they been giving us. Just continue. You know, we’re going to get right soon.

Q. Does the defense have something to prove you think this week? It was trending; had a tough game at Texas; then LSU obviously last year was a really tough one. You’re facing I mean, already one of the best players in the NFL it looks like.

TJ SEARCY: Yeah, definitely. I feel like we definitely always have something to prove every week. Yeah, I think this week we definitely have something to prove coming after last week’s bad performance.

Q. What’s worked for you so well in pass rush this year?

TJ SEARCY: I think what’s been helping me with my pass rush this year has been the extra work I put in, getting comfortable with the moves.

Q. Maybe you haven’t racked up the sacks you were hoping, but where do you think you made progress that’s going to continue to carry over?

TJ SEARCY: I feel like I’m just learning the scheme a lot better, learning the defense as a whole lot better. Like when it’s time for me to drop in coverage I know what the back end is doing. That helps me be more confident in my drop and be able to make more plays.

Q. What do you see as the future of this team and defense? I think you guys have started as many as six sophomores on defense. You had a freshmen quarterback, freshmen tailback, et cetera.

TJ SEARCY: I just see the future of this defense being violent, physical, everybody gets to the ball. You know, like we got a lot of energy on this defense. We’re young. I think we can make a lot of plays for sure.

Q. Just in terms it of the program though, when you look at DJ, Jadan — and I’m leaving people out — but those two in particular.

TJ SEARCY: Yeah, for sure.

Q. But I’m saying what do you envision? This year has maybe not gone…

TJ SEARCY: For the defense?

Q. The whole program. Billy is back, you got all these young people. I mean, it hasn’t all come together yet, but…

TJ SEARCY: I feel like it’ll definitely coming together. I feel like it’s just taking a little time. They’re fresh into college, just like we was last year.

It took us a little time to figure stuff out. After everybody get everything figured out I feel like we’ll definitely start rolling.

Q. How much has it helped you to get to quarterbacks and disrupt plays, guys having Kam James next to you and the sack you had?

TJ SEARCY: Kam James, with the sack I just had, he’s improved a lot this off-season. Kam is one guy that I see putting in work every day. Like I could definitely see him getting better every day.

As far as the rush working together, like he knows how the games are supposed to work, so in the game when I got the sack, I got to give credit to Kam for that sack because he really — he opened up the gap for me to come straight through.

Q. How much of a factor has that played this year, just having speed on the edges and guys who are going to occupy gaps on the inside?

TJ SEARCY: I think it’s definitely a huge factor this year helping us get a little pressure.

Q. How much better is this offensive line?

TJ SEARCY: I think this offensive line is very good. We still have a few young players on the offensive line that still can develop and get better over time.

So I think this offensive line is going to be great.

Q. In terms of comparing to last year, what did you see maybe differently there? Is it more depth? More cohesiveness? What are you seeing?

TJ SEARCY: I think there is a little bit more battling going on for positions than last year, so I feel like there is probably a little bit more depth.

Q. What are some of the things that stand out from the LSU offense you guys will need to focus in on to have success?

TJ SEARCY: I feel like we definitely have to just play our game, worry about our technique, stop the run, and affect the passer.

After we do that, we should win.

Q. What do you see in Nussmeier, their quarterback?

TJ SEARCY: I think he’s a good player. Like we definitely will have to account for him, yeah, for sure.

Q. Do you have any lingering memories from (indiscernible.)

TJ SEARCY: Yeah.

Q. Any nightmares about that?

TJ SEARCY: Yeah, I ain’t never got did like that by a quarterback before, so that of course is in my mind when I see a quarterback try to escape.

Q. He won the Heisman for a reason.

TJ SEARCY: Yeah, he is definitely nice.

Q. (Indiscernible.)

TJ SEARCY: Yeah, that’s what I see.
