Offensive Line is pretty veteran, receivers are good, TE's are pretty good.
Really bad veterans, perhaps. In the bowl game the TEs after Pitts couldn’t catch passes dropped right into their hands…repeatedly. Also, I don’t mean this to trash talk, but I think the days of the Mullen running QB cobbling together 25 points to win a game are over. It’s insufficient to beat the teams you’d really like to beat.
The main returners are from the defense that couldn’t stop Gainesville High. The elite offense has lost all the pieces that made it work. It’s not impossible to have a good season, but it’s going to require giant steps made across every single position group with the exception of RB.

The backup TE's were good in every single game last year outside of the bowl game. Almost no drops all year.
Seems like everyone played about as bad they could in that bowl game.
I don't see any Gator fans claiming we're going to be great or anything. But the reality is we still have top 10 roster talent in the country. So if some things break our way we could be solid. Especially if Emory figures things out.

Yeah, the bowl game where our air raid offense lost its top four receivers and had one week to practice together.

We didn't score less than 25 points in 2020 except for the Oklahoma game, and again we lost every single top receiver in a base set (3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 HB) in an air raid offense.
40 a game in 2020.
33.2 points a game in 2019.
35 in 2018.
I think we'll be fine, and again, having a Quarterback that actually fits his system, that his system is built for will be a welcome change.
