Muschamp presser notebook

On Tuesday, Will Muschamp met with the media to discuss several things from spring practice.

During the press conference Muschamp talked about Saturday’s scrimmage as well as several key injuries to starters.

  • Muschamp started off by congratulating the gymnastics team for winning the SEC title.
  • It was a good turnout for the coaches clinic last weekend and Muschamp said he was glad to have the SEC officials in town last weekend as well.
  • Percy Harvin and several other former players were at practice this past weekend.
  • Receiver Demarcus Robinson has a high ankle spring and should be able to return next week but he is in a walking boot right now.
  • Defensive end Jonathan Bullard is still out with a hamstring injury but Muschamp believes he should be back soon.
  • Cody Riggs is also out with a hamstring right now but he should also be back soon.
  • Offensive lineman Trip Thurman is out with a shoulder injury and will have his MRI looked over tonight. Muschamp praised Thurman for the spring he was having so far.
  • On Saturday, Florida took 30-40 scrimmage snaps and Muschamp believes the spring game could be more like a practice as well due to injuries.
  • Muschamp says the safeties must communicate better. He said during the scrimmage Saturday, communication problems allowed for some big plays.
  • Jeff Driskel had a good practice on Monday, maybe his best of the spring accoriding to Muschamp.
  • Tyler Moore and Max Garcia are guys Muschamp is happy with on the offensive line.
  • Marcus Maye had a good scrimmage on Saturday with an interception but he has to cut out the mental mistakes.
  • Mack Brown and Kelvin Taylor have had good springs but Taylor needs to continue learning more.
  • Loucheiz Purifoy is back on defense now but did take some snaps on offense during practice Monday.
