Florida Gators offensive line coach Mike Summers has been coaching for more than three decades but 2015 was unlike any he had ever been apart of. When asked point blank if he’s ever dealt with that level of youth and inexperience during his coaching career Summers stated simply, “I have not ever.”
Florida limped through spring camp a year ago with six offensive linemen and then leaned heavily on three freshmen offensive linemen, a true sophomore and redshirt sophomore. They line took lumps — Florida allowed a SEC high 45 sacks in 2015 — but they are now more experienced with four returning starters.
