Press Conference


Florida 38, Vanderbilt 14

Q. What was the defense's mindset heading into Sunday's practice and then into the game week?

TYREAK SAPP: Man, wipe this dirt off because in this game, you try not to let that happen. You try to go somewhere with the right attitude, the right mindset, but it happened, but the thing is how do you respond and what do you do about it.

Our only thing was from Sunday until today was let's wipe this dirt off. Let's get up off the mat, let's get up out of the mud, clean this off and go back to work, and then let's obviously correct what we need to correct and then go out there and execute and play the type of football we need to play.

Q. You've had a couple sacks this year. I want to know what's going through your mind during the celebration. Looks like you kind of lose your mind a little bit.

TYREAK SAPP: I do lose my mind. But it's fine. I'm fine with losing my mind.

Q. You guys had three forced fumbles today. What was the mindset? How important was that, and what was the conversation regarding turnovers --

TYREAK SAPP: Get the ball is the main thing, especially as a defensive player. If you are a defense that is efficient at getting the ball, then obviously you're a more efficient defense, and then you can lead that on to having a more efficient offense because you're being more complementary to them.
