Florida linebacker Myles Graham said the defense was too slow to receive calls and align against Florida Atlantic's tempo, identifying eye discipline and communication in crowd noise as specific corrections needed before facing more fast-paced offenses.

Graham agreed with Jon Sumrall's warning that Florida's defense considered itself better than its performance justified, saying the unit eased off after a strong start and needed improvement in both the front seven and secondary.

Graham credited Florida safety DJ Coleman's early interception with ending a long Florida Atlantic drive and restoring momentum, while praising Coleman's speed of play and awareness.

Graham described Florida defensive tackle Jeramiah McCloud as quick off the snap and repeatedly disruptive in the backfield, making the linebacker's job easier.

Graham praised Aaron Philo's accuracy and check-down decisions as Florida scored 66 points without punting, saying the offense's quick scoring reduced pressure on the uneven defensive performance.
