That assumes Florida won’t reload on offense, which is a flawed assumption under Mullen. Florida lost a really good QB and a few really good pass catchers. Emory Jones won’t complete passes like Trask, but he’ll complete plenty of passes, plus he adds a running dimension that always causes issues for Bama. Regarding the WR/TE losses, it’s reload time. When UF lost Van Jefferson, Swain, Cleveland, Hammond, they replaced them with Toney, Pitts and Grimes. Now that those guys are gone, you’ll see others emerge; Copeland, Shorter, Henderson, Whittemore, etc.
I’m not concerned about offense under Mullen. He’s too good and has a proven track record.
Defense is where the major improvement will come from. UF returns a ton of experience on defense. Depth and talent at every position.
Florida will compete with and possibly beat Bama in the Swamp. Save this post.
