Florida head coach Billy Napier addressed everything from Graham Mertz’s injury to his relationship with the father of Florida State’s backup quarterback during his Monday press conference to kick off Week 13.

Napier talked plenty about both Mertz and redshirt freshman Max Brown, who is expected to start on Saturday.
He also addressed some of the more critical moments of the Missouri game after getting a chance to review the tape.
