Florida’s offensive line must pave the way for a return to Atlanta

With the stretch run of the season upcoming for Florida, there is one unit that needs to elevate its play if the Gators are going to return to Atlanta. The offensive line must continue to establish itself as a solid run-blocking unit.

In its most recent outing, Florida ran for a season-high 287 yards against Missouri. It was the third 200-yard game for the Gators this season; they did that just twice in 2015.

The first thing the line must do to improve is cut down on the silly penalties. The Gators had eight false start penalties against Mizzou and a majority were on the offensive line.
