HOOVER, Ala. — Florida coach Will Muschamp said the Gators have been working on team building and the team concept has been a top priority this summer.
"We've got a lot of work before playing the first game," said Muschamp, who added the team will start practice the first week of August.
Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi State and South Carolina are the first four teams to participate in Day 1 of SEC Media Days.
Some other points by Muschamp:
*His greatest adjustment as a head coach has been time management and making sure everything is done correct and timely.
*Confirmed running back Jeff Demps will play football his season. He may miss some of August practices running for the U.S. track team.
*Offensive tackle Matt Patchan is cleared to play when camp starts. Patchan missed all last season with right wrist injury.
*Linebacker Neiron Ball will not play this season, but will be re-evaluated in January and February. Ball is recovering from a ruptured blood vessel in his brain.
