GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida ambassador and consultant Steve Spurrier held a moderated Q&A on campus for ACCENT on Monday, providing students who attended with the opportunity to hear from the Gators legend and discuss his career, the current team and much more.

And with spring ball less than three weeks away, you can bet there were some questions about the Florida offense and Spurrier's relationship with Jim McElwain. The Head Ball Coach didn't disappoint.

"Excellent relationship," Spurrier said. "I try to help him a little bit. Obviously I didn't help much this year, but I'll help a little bit in spring ball."

The former Florida coach has lended an ear to McElwain whenever he's needed it, and he's been around practice plenty. When Spurrier sees something, he's usually pretty on the money.

For the Head Ball Coach, the offense has a chance to improve a lot based on one young player he seemed pretty high on Monday night: redshirt freshman quarterback Feleipe Franks.

"Hopefully we can help this offense," Spurrier said. "I saw Feleipe Franks today. I was coming into the weight room and he was working out there. Feleipe was coming through. This kid's got a chance to be really good.

"Kyle Trask has got a chance also. Both of them can really throw."

Spurrier, though, cautioned fans about placing too much emphasis on the quarterback position alone. With an offense that has ranked in the bottom 20 in each of McElwain's two seasons as the starting quarterback position flipped over four times, many have pointed to solving the quarterback question as the key to Florida's woes.

Spurrier thinks it's about a lot more than just that. The good news is that Florida has the pieces in place around the quarterback at this point to succeed.

"An offense is more than just a quarterback," Spurrier said. "How many times when I was the coach of the Gators, did they say we don't have a quarterback? Anybody? They never said that. Sometimes you've got to get guys open. You've got to protect the quarterback, he's got to throw it at the right time, the guys hold it at the right time and you'll be good. Sometimes it's not always about that guy at quarterback.

"Get some guys open, run the ball and things of that nature. We need a lot more of that and I think it's going to be good."
