Tuesday Practice Report: www.gatorsports.com/article/20140812/ARTICLES/140819898?tc=crPLAY OF THE DAY: Driskel’s best throw of the day came early in practice, when he hooked up with Fulwood on a back shoulder throw deep down the sideline. Fulwood did a nice job coming back to the ball to make the play. INJURY UPDATE: The big news is All-SEC cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (bruised knee) returned to practice in an orange, non-contact jersey. Defensive end/tackle Jonathan Bullard (ankle) also returned and was at full speed. … Tailback Kelvin Taylor (hamstring), running back Matt Jones (knee), wide receiver Andre Debose (knee), offensive lineman Trip Thurman (shoulder), defensive end Bryan Cox Jr. (shoulder), tailback Adam Lane (shoulder), defensive end Alex McCalister (ankle), defensive end Taven Bryan (strep throat), defensive back Duke Dawson (shoulder) and defensive tackle Thomas Holley (sports hernia) all were held out of practice. … Safety Marcus Maye (leg) and cornerback J.C.

8.13.2014 Pat Dooley:
Because I was out of town, I finally got to see my first UF practice Tuesday. Here’s what I saw:
* Florida is better at backup quarterback than it was last year. Scoff if you want, Tyler Murphy fans, but both Will Grier and Treon Harris throw the ball really well.
* This is a good-looking team physically. It looks like an SEC contender.
* I can’t wait to see running back Brandon Powell in the open field. He can scoot.
* Dante Fowler is Florida’s best player. Duh.
* As loaded as Florida is at running back, you have to be concerned that Matt Jones had swelling on his knee after the first scrimmage. If Jones and Kelvin Taylor are healthy all year, it will be tough to slow this offense down.
* I go back to what I wrote on my notebook during the spring game — GUYS GET OPEN!

Wednesday August 13, 2014 Roper's Golden Rule for Quarterbacks and His Thoughts on Offense's Progress
Scott Carter By SCOTT CARTER GatorZone.com Senior Writer
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- If you have have been to one of the Gators’ open practices and watched first-year offensive coordinator Kurt Roper closely, you know what he is talking about.
Roper has an upbeat demeanor and uses a positive teaching style when on the practice field. But the tone can change quickly when one of Florida’s quarterbacks holds the ball too long.
That’s a no-no in Roper’s playbook and his quest to recharge Florida's offense.
“I have a simple rule for young quarterbacks when they come in: when I call a pass I want you to throw the ball,’’ he said. “That's hard for young guys to do because they don't know the route concepts, so their inclination is to keep it and run.
“Well, you're not running past Jon Bullard and Dante Fowler. So simple rule: When I call a pass, throw it. Make a decision. We'll learn from our mistakes, but be decisive. If a guy can't be decisive it's hard for him to play."
Freshman quarterbacks Will Grier and Treon Harris have experienced Roper’s wrath during camp. Grier and Harris are battling redshirt sophomore Skyler Mornhinweg to back up starter Jeff Driskel.
With the Gators in their second week of camp, Roper and head coach Will Muschamp want to see some separation behind Driskel.
Roper addressed the quarterbacks and many more topics on Tuesday in his first meeting with reporters since camp opened.
Here is a Q&A with Roper touching on some of the key topics:
Q: Where is the offense at this point in camp?
A: I think they’ve got a really good understanding of what we’re asking them to do. Our base offense, I should say. The guys that were not around for those 15 days [in spring practice], our two offensive lines, our two quarterbacks, really the young guys -- it’s a battle right now to have great understanding because it is so new to them and our defense is so multiple and causes so many problems. But the guys that have been in the battles before, they can apply obviously experiences to what we’re teaching them offensively. I think they have a really good understanding of what we’re doing. And now you’re seeing situational work, like short yardage today, that we put things in that are gameplan specific that they’ve picked up really well.
Q: How is the timing in the passing game?
A: I think timing is good, I think with our 1s. I think the biggest thing is getting the ball out of your hand in the passing game when you really start talking about timing. I think Jeff has a good feel for that. Every now and then the defense does a good job covering us and we might hold it a little bit too long, but I think our receivers and quarterbacks are doing a good job getting on the same page.
Q: When will you decided on a depth chart behind Driskel?
A: We have a little bit more time. I think the biggest thing is deciding the strengths and weaknesses each guy has and decide from there. But we’ll have to make decisions here pretty soon through the week and into next week and start trying to get more reps that way. I still think we’re in a competitive situation. Let’s keeping battling and see what they learn because everything is so new to these guys.
Q: What is your relationship with Driskel like?
A: I've enjoyed every second of it. He's a good person. I like being around really good people. That's fun for me. That's one of the things that's important to me in evaluation. A guy that is accountable and does what he says he's going to do, he's that kind of person. He's a guy you can hang your hat on as a person. He's fun to be around and he's obviously a really talented football player, so he's fun to coach that way. But it's been a lot of fun to get to know him and all the guys.
Gators offensive line
Q: What are your thoughts on the offensive line with the season less than three weeks away?
A: I think our offensive line is really pretty good. You know, being able to get Trip [Thurman] back, that obviously was a scare, was important because I think we’ve got a really good group of seven right now. The young guys, you know, they’re learning; they’re a ways away. They’re working hard. I think our older guys are doing a pretty good job.
Note: Thurman hurt his shoulder on Sunday but was back at practice Tuesday working out with the players sidelined by injuries.
Q: You have some depth at running back; how do you get all those guys involved?
A: I don’t know if I was necessarily a young coach at this point, but in 2006 I went back to Tennessee and in that backfield was a guy named Arian Foster, Montario Hardesty and LaMarcus Coker; all of them really talented football players. All of them wanted to play, well, everybody can’t play; they’re sitting on the sidelines. So I’m in a room managing players who aren’t getting as many reps as they’re wanting to get. I made the comment, ‘I have too many good players’ and Coach Cut goes, ‘oh no.’ The next thing I know, all I got is Arian Foster because Hardesty got injured and Coker was not able to play, now you’re like, ‘wait a second.’ We’re fortunate to have the numbers, we’ve got guys that can play really good football at that position but running back is a physical position and a place you do need numbers.
Q: What’s your assessment of the receivers?
A: We've got good numbers there. You know, we are up six, seven guys that really can get in with Jeff and make some plays. Most camps I've been in you hope the drops lessen as you go on and we keep getting better and better at securing catches and those things. But it's a group that's working hard that's talented.
Q: Do you have a sense of how much up-tempo you will use?
A: You saw it today. We’re going to call plays that are really fast, that are around the 25, 28, 30-second range. We’re going to call some plays that are around the 5-second range. What we try to keep tabs of is that 18-second range. If we can get the ball snapped around 18 seconds on the play clock, then we’re keeping a pretty good tempo. But my biggest thing is execution. I never really talked in number of plays or how fast we’re going. We’re going to be a no-huddle, quick-tempo team. At the end of the day we want to look up and have points on the scoreboard. Typically that’s meant more plays in the past by going no-huddle. But we don’t just sit here and say, ‘hey let’s go get 92 plays.’ We’ve got to execute. If we can score in two plays, let’s get off and let the other team run 10 plays and punt. That’s kind of the thought process.
Q: How would you describe the buy-in from the players?
A: It’s been really good. I think these guys are excited about playing football. It wouldn’t matter who you rolled in here. When this time of season comes around, everybody’s excited. I hope they’re enjoying the offense. I hope they’re enjoying competing every day on the practice field. I think they’re excited about competing with players.
Q: You seem to keep it light with players at practice; what is your approach?
A: Football is a game. It’s supposed to be fun. There’s a time to be serious, and there’s a time to lock in and all that. I learned a long time ago that if you take a player’s hope away from him, that’s when you’ve got a guy that’s going to struggle. I want guys to have hope and belief in themselves and enjoy coming out here playing. If I’ve got a guy playing really, really hard, I’m going to coach and fix the issues, whether it’s a route depth or whatever it is. We’re going to fix the issues. If we’ve got a guy not playing hard, you can’t coach him. These guys play hard. We’re going to coach positive.

Gator Country take on Wednesdays open practice - there are two more open practices - the information on the DL is music to my ears:
Written by Nick de la Torre, August 13, 2014
Spring Practice No. 10 is in the books and the sun and Florida heat was the fiercest it has been during open practices. At one point of the practice, tight ends coach Derek Lewis shouted “It’s football! It’s supposed to be hot, you’re supposed to be tired!”
Despite the heat, the team had a high energy, up-tempo practice and Will Muschamp praised their effort and intensity when he gathered his squad up at the end of the morning session.
OL vs. DL
The defensive line won the day today. Alex McCalister, Neiron Ball and Jon Bullard overmatched the offensive tackles they went up against and Jay-nard Bostwick was a beast in one-on-one and half line drills. Bostwick is getting much better taking on double teams and he was disruptive all morning. Brad Lawing couldn’t heap enough praise on Bostwick who was also earning cheers from his teammates as well.
Joey Ivie continues to grow and learn. He’s taking coaching a lot better than he has in the past and he looked like a sponge today. Lawing would get on him for a mistake one rep and praise him for correcting it the next rep.
Rod Johnson and Tyler Moore had good days of practice and along with Max Garcia, the three of them had the best day of all the offensive linemen. I was very critical of Moore as a tackle last season but he’s found a home inside and has been very consistent this fall.
D.J. Humphries is struggling against Alex McCalister, which, to me, is troubling. You need Humphries should be dominating players going into his third season and the Gators need him to really step up his game this season or he’s going to get Jeff Driskel hurt.
Caleb Brantley, Khairi Clark and Gerald Willis are all young guys who should be able to get into the rotation and make an impact this season. Each of them has had shining moments this camp, Brantley and Clark with their sheer power and Willis with his speed off the edge.
The second team offensive line is simply no match for the second team defensive line. Florida’s defensive line is becoming less of a concern for me, personally, but the offensive line is pretty thin.
Backup quarterback battle
Tuesday, Quinton Dunbar said Treon Harris finally feels like he gets the offense and it’s showing in practice. Harris looks much more comfortable and confident running things out there and is closing the gap that Will Grier held over him to start camp.
Grier, right now, is having a better camp overall but I don’t think there is as much separation between the two quarterbacks as many people think. It’s definitely a close battle but the coaching staff needs to make a decision soon because the plan is to get the backup quarterback quality reps in the first game and that means that player needs to start getting the bulk of the second team reps, something the two quarterbacks are splitting right now.
WR vs. DB’s
In one-on-one drills the defensive backs won the day with Quincy Wilson, Jalen Tabor and JC Jackson all coming away with interceptions. Two of the passes could have been better but the youth at cornerback is certainly not going to be an issue this season. Florida did an incredible job recruiting the position last season and they’ve set themselves up for a couple years.
Marcus Maye was out of the non-contact jersey that he has worn all camp and he made one of the best plays of the day. Maye was playing safety in Florida’s base 4-3 and came down to cover C.J. Worton. Maye blanketed Worton in coverage, tipped the ball as it was coming in and was able to stay with it, coming away with an interception.
With Vernon Hargreaves taking it easy in practice, Tabor and Jackson continue to work as the first team cornerbacks but Jackson may be the most impressive freshman defensive back on the team. He’s still in a non-contact jersey but is as physical as any cornerback on the team.
Special teams
The kickers started practice off with live field goal drills and were shaky, yet again. Austin Hardin was probably the most consistent of the bunch but the group as a whole is not really inspiring confidence with their performances in practice.
Johnny Townsend and Kyle Christy also went at it, trading reps in practice today. When Townsend and Christy had time to kick they both booted 50-60 kicks down the field. There were a lot of mishits from both punters on Wednesday but it looked like Coleman Hutzler was running them through a rushed motion to get them ready for when something could go wrong and they have to rush in a game.
I would give the performance edge to Christy and Hardin today but both competitions are still too close to call.
Injury Notes •Marcus Maye was out of his orange non-contact jersey. Maye has been non-contact for most of the spring. •Adam Lane was out of the pit and into a non-contact jersey Wednesday. He went through positional drills but did not participate in 11-on-11 drills. •Duke Dawson missed another practice and was in the pit riding a stationary bike. •Trip Thurman missed practice and worked in the pit. •Vernon Hargreaves went through some drills today but did not take part in 11-on-11. There is no urgency to get Hargreaves back into practice. The staff knows what he can do and his absence from 11-on-11 is giving the staff a good look at the young corners. •Kelvin Taylor worked in the pit for a third straight practice. •Keanu Neal missed his first practice and worked in the pit.

UF picks up OL commit from Georgia player:
Ga. offensive lineman commits to Gators
By Zach Abolverdi Correspondent

After signing zero Georgia prospects in the 2014 recruiting cycle, Florida has now landed three consecutive recruits from the state for 2015.
Offensive lineman Brandon Sandifer committed to the Gators on Wednesday, announcing his decision on Twitter.
The 6-foot-4, 328-pounder from Warner Robins (Ga.) Northside chose UF over Alabama and South Carolina. He visited Gainesville on July 25 for Friday Night Lights.
“That trip really sold me on Florida,” Sandifer said. “I just had a great vibe with the coaches and players, and I feel like they need me there.”
Sandifer is Florida's third commitment in two weeks, joining fellow Peach State prospects Mike Horton (OL) and Adonis Thomas (LB).
The Gators now have 11 members in their 2015 class.

Based on what I know tonight, UF is addressing what I thought would be a weakness on the defense, DTs. It appears UF will be 3 deep at NT and DT. This is with Thomas Holley likely redshirting due to minor surgery to repair scar tissue from a previous sports hernia surgery. The three deep at NT and DT will look like this when the depth chart is released:
NT -- Leon Orr 6'5"/305 ----- Jay-nard Bostwick 6'3"/294 ----- Khairi Clark 6'2"/308
DT -- Darious Cummings 6'1"/297 ----- Caleb Brantley 6'2"/295 OR ----- Joey Ivie 6'3"/288
Leon Orr and Darious Cummings are solid 1s. They completely dominate the OL 1s. Both are senior starters.
The 2s are behind the 1s, but they dominate the OL 2s.
Jay-nard Bostwick has been a beast drawing praise from the coaches and teammates. I'm not surprised by the reports as Bostwick was deemed ready to play prior to the LSU game last season after Dominique Easley was injured. For those who read this board last season, you'll probably remember how upset I was watching teams run the ball down our throat while Muschamp kept Bostwick's redshirt on.
Khairi Clark has been consistent and has shown considerable strength in stopping the run and in pass rush.
Caleb Brantley has been outstanding, particularily against the run, over the last two practices. He seems to be elevating his game after not working as hard as he could have in the spring. His knock has been inconsistency due to lack of effort. That apparently has changed with the realization that Joey Ivie could bump him to 3rd string. Brantley is considerably more talented than 3rd string so I hope his heightened focus and intensity is his new norm.
Joey Ivie has reportedly taken in his coaching like a sponge. He's square built and he's able to get off blocks. He put on 15 lbs of muscle in the offseason which helped to facilitate his move from SDE to DT. His brother, Andrew Ivie 6'3"/285 as a rising senior, will be joining the team at DT as part of the 15 class.
Thomas Holley 6'3"/312 would likely have drawn playing time as well if not for now getting behind due to the surgery. While it looks like Khairi Clark will be in line to lose his redshirt, my guess is the decision has already been made to redshirt Holley. It will simply be too difficult to get him ready to play after missing the remainder of fall practice while he recovers from the surgery, probably 4 to 6 weeks.
In addition to those above, Jonathan Bullard is a hybrid SDE/DT. I wouldn't be surprised to see him move inside on passing situations. He's an NFL caliber SDE plus he's reported to be in the 280s rather than the 270 listed on the roster. Enjoy him this season as he'll be playing on Sunday in 15.
The other starting DE is Dante Fowler. Simply put, he's UF's best player. He will be playing on Sunday in 15 too. UF is deep at DE which allowed the move of Ivie to DT.
It looks like the DL is less of a concern than the OL. However, it's normal for the offense to be behind the defense at this stage of fall practice. I suspect the OL will round into a better performance level as the first game of the season approaches.

Robbies Playbook Receivers bonding with Leak Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 8:41 by Robbie Andreu Although he took over in a tough situation, with virtually no coaching experience, new Florida wide receivers coach Chris Leak has quickly earned the respect of the Gator wide receivers.
“Chris Leak, he’s very passionate about the game, you can tell he loves the game,” senior Quinton Dunbar said. “ He goes that extra effort to make sure guys are OK and guys are in the perfect place to make plays. I feel like he’s going to be a good coach.”
Leak, the former UF quarterback great who led the Gators to the national title in 2006, was supposed to be a graduate assistant on Will Muschamp’s staff this season. But that all changed when receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Joker Phillips resigned unexpectedly earlier this summer, citing personal reasons. On the same day Phillips resigned, Muschamp elevated Leak to receivers coach.
Leak is now coaching a wide receiver group that seems greatly improved (and deeper) than a year ago.
“Leak is a little more proactive. Coach Joke was a very laid back kind of guy. Leak is more of a run around guy,” sophomore wide receiver Ahmad Fulwood said. “If he could, he would run the route for you or rather with you. He’s more of a step-for-step kind of coach. He’s going to be with you every step you take, every rep you take. He’s doing a good job.”
Although he’s coaching receivers, the quarterback in Leak comes out sometimes in practice, Fulwood said.
“When we don’t have a quarterback he’ll definitely throw it to us,” Fulwood said. “He prides himself on still being able to throw a spiral. You can’t let him get back into his old days. He might go out there and steal some reps from Jeff (Driskel) every now and then if he could.”
Fulwood said it’s kind of cool catching passes from a guy who won a national championship at Florida.
“You have a champion throwing you balls, telling us what it takes to win (a national championship),” he said. “It’s very important to us. One of the things that he implemented to us is that we have to go attack the ball. Ever since he showed us tape of what it takes to win championships, we’ve been doing it lately.”

The true freshmen DBs are all going to be stars, but it looks like Vernon Hargreaves and Brian Poole are going to man the corners and Keanu Neal will be starting at one of the safety slots. The nickel and dime slots will be played by upper classmen too. That leaves a starting safety slot open for the best of the best freshman. To be sure, there will be plenty of 2 deep playing time for all of them:
UF secondary talent-rich
By Robbie Andreu Staff writer

Facing the prospect of having to play true freshmen in the secondary in the SEC usually induces lots of anxious moments and sleepless nights for defensive coaches.
So, why does Florida defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin appear so relaxed and rested during these sultry summer days in preseason camp?
“I feel good about our options back there,” Durkin said after Thursday's practice. “Now, it's a matter of how we're going to sort it all out. All those guys have the ability to play.
“Look at the history. We've played true freshmen in the back end about every year. We recruit those type of guys and a lot of our guys leave as juniors. That happens. We'll be fine. Those guy are ready to go.”
Those guys Durkin is referring to are the five true freshmen who are competing for significant playing time in the young UF secondary -- safety/cornerback Duke Dawson and cornerbacks Jalen Tabor, Quincy Wilson, J.C. Jackson and Deiondre Porter.
One of those guys could start. Others figure to be heavily involved in the playing rotation in the secondary.
Durkin certainly seems OK with that prospect.
“We've had great competition. Competition makes everyone better,” Durkin said. “They're battling really good. Quincy, J.C., Jalen Tabor, Duke Dawson, Deiondre Porter as well, they've all had days where you could say this guy is better than the other. The good news is they're all competing and playing well. They're going to help us.”

It wouldn't surprise me if Will Grier redshirts and Treon Harris is Jeff Driskel's backup. However, it isn't that I trust Pat Dooley's judgment. Will Grier had expressed an interest in redshirting his first year when he was recruited. I've heard nothing in practice reports to say the decision will be made because Treon Harris has outperformed Will Grier. If anything, I've heard that Will Grier has been more consistent with his passes:
Pat Dooley @pat_dooley I've only been to two practices but it seems clear that Treon Harris will be the backup to Jeff Driskel and Will Grier will redshirt.
I don't think they will be ready to decide until next week. I have heard that both Grier and Harris are better options than Tyler Murphy was last season when Driskel broke his leg and that Skyler Mornhinweg will be last on the active depth chart. This from Gatorzone yesterday:
Wednesday August 13, 2014 Mission for Gators' freshmen QBs is to speed up timing and avoid '270 pounds of pain' Updated: 12:21pm, August 13
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – One of the Gators’ worst fears came true a season ago when starting quarterback Jeff Driskel suffered a broken leg in the third game of the season.
Florida lacked experienced depth behind Driskel after Jacoby Brissett transferred to N.C. State. Tyler Murphy, who had never thrown a college pass, provided temporary relief. However, Murphy injured his shoulder at LSU and was never the same.
Redshirt freshman Skyler Mornhinweg was thrown into the fire but unable to lead the Gators to a win. With Driskel once again healthy and Murphy now at Boston College, Mornhinweg is battling true freshmen Will Grier and Treon Harris for the back-up quarterback’s job.
Both Grier and Harris joined the program with impressive prep credentials. Grier was the Parade Magazine National Player of the Year after throwing for 4,989 yards and 77 touchdowns as a senior at Davidson (N.C.) Day School.
Meanwhile, Harris led Booker T. Washington High in Miami to back-to-back Class 4A state championships and threw for 2,113 yards and 28 touchdowns as a senior.
Both are mobile quarterbacks who can make plays in the running game.
First-year offensive coordinator Kurt Roper is taking a close look at the newcomers this week in practice as the Gators try and find some separation behind Driskel.
“I see talent. I see guys that are working hard that want to be good, that right now are confused because it is a bunch on their plate, it is a different game,’’ Roper said. “It’s a brand new language. We do have a lot of routes, so it takes a little bit of time to pick up. But I see talented players."
Roper said he is emphasizing better timing to the younger quarterbacks early in camp. While he expects growing pains, what they are facing at practice is different than anything else they have done in their young careers.
Grier and Harris took off their non-contact red jerseys and became live during Sunday’s scrimmage and at Monday’s early practice.
“These guys are trying to get back there and hurt them,” Roper said. “What ends up happening in high school, there's so much 7-on-7 that's played at a four-second pace. When you watch that … it really trains bad habits. Nobody is getting hit. Nobody is in front of them.
“They're blowing a horn at four seconds. That's not real world. When you have a guy like [Jadeveon] Clowney rushing you that is below three seconds. And then it's 270 pounds of pain.”
To avoid that pain Roper is working to develop quicker releases and defensive recognition.
One question about Grier is whether the competition he faced in high school – he played at the Class 2A level – would hinder his development.
Roper isn’t concerned about Grier’s physical ability. The mental game is where he is focused.
“Back when my dad was coaching, you’d go into 4A and 5A high schools and that’s where you stayed,’’ Roper said. “Now, you go anywhere to find talent. I think he’s got to understand the game is faster, and that’s a process. That doesn’t happen overnight. That’s what we have to work on.”
Then you have this today from 247/Gator Bait's Thomas Goldkamp:
@goldkamp247: Might have to rethink my stance on Will Grier winning backup job. Treon Harris has been absolutely lights out last three days. #Gators
Well now, this is going to be fun. In any case, UF needs more than 2 QBs who can make a difference in games as we learned last season.

From Robbie Andreu at the Gainesville Sun:
"TRUE FRESHMAN SPOTLIGHT: It’s tough for defensive tackles to play as true freshmen in the SEC, but Khairi Clark is making a strong push to do just that. He’s gotten plenty of reps in practice and seems to be holding his own. The Gators are looking to add depth at defensive tackle, and Clark has a chance to help."
More confirmation that a true freshman will likely be in the 3 deep at DT. After holding Jay-nard Bostwick out last year when he was pronounced ready to play prior to LSU and as the season was turned to rubble by injuries and opponents running the ball down the Gators throat, it's nice to see that Will Muschamp isn't going to let that happen again. If they can play, let them play.
