"I have a lot of respect for this football team. They're well coached. They have improved a ton from last year," Sumrall said of Campbell on Monday. "... We watched the tape (Sunday), and I just told our staff after watching the second tape that we got in yesterday afternoon, I said, 'We shouldn't even watch any of last year's stuff. It's a waste of time.' They're a totally different football team.  

"They're averaging over 500 yards a game right now. Their quarterback is playing at a really high level. They got really quality football players and it's a challenge. It really is. I got a lot of respect for, you know, they didn't have the year they wanted to have last year record-wise, but you could already tell there's a shift within their football team with how they're playing, and it's happened quickly from year one to year two with that coaching staff there. We got a lot of respect for who they are and what they do."

Heavy favorites, Florida will look to continue its offensive dominance from last week, in which Florida punted zero times and scored 66 points, while improving some of its defensive shortcomings.
