Gators faithful react to Billy Napier news
“I think it’s really systematic on offense. I think they do a good job. They play with balance. They’re committed to a run game that is well-designed. I think the new coordinator has implemented some concepts in the throw game, but they’re doing a good job using the skill they’ve got,” Napier said on Monday. “I think the back’s a good player. They’re getting pretty good play from a couple of tight ends. I think their front is playing well. I think that gets overlooked. Then the skill players, the receiver group has — you know, they’re all a little bit different, and I think they do a good job utilizing that group.”
