"It's the best fit for us, for the five guys that we are going to put out there. That's our best situtation."

"Moving Josh (Thompson) over there is not going to do it for us. DJ has already played the full Florida game at tackle, and virtually played the entire time against Vanderbilt outside of the first 12 plays. He had one stumble where his foot got caught in the turf and we had a sack that was given up, but by and large, he did what was expected of him. I have confidence that he go out there a do the job."
