Florida Coach Will Muschamp says a sexual assault allegation against freshman quarterback Treon Harris is “a serious charge.”

Making his first public comments since it was announced that Harris was suspended indefinitely while authorities investigate sexual assault allegations made against him, Muschamp turned away questions after saying “you handle things and move forward.”

Muschamp added that “I feel very comfortable in how we’ve approached this situation.”

The program banned Harris from all team activities during the investigation. The school said a female student accused Harris of sexually assaulting her around 3 a.m. Sunday – hours after he helped Florida beat Tennessee 10-9 in Knoxville.

Muschamp laughed off another off-the-field situation: a Monday fight between players Skyler Mornhinweg and teammate Gerald Willis.

According to police, Mornhinweg sustained “small lacerations on his lower lip” and was taken to a hospital for treatment. Willis had a “small cut on his chin” but did not get medical attention.

The fight reportedly started over a dispute over cleats.

All four ex-players have pleaded not guilty and are free on bond. Franklin now is head coach at Penn State.

KENTUCKY FRESHMAN defensive lineman Lloyd Tubman pleaded not guilty to first-degree rape and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 23.
