Florida coach Jim McElwain has managed to win the SEC East in each of his first two seasons in Gainesville. If he can produce a quality offense in Year 3, the Gators might be ready to regain their spot among the elite.
That process begins Tuesday when UF opens spring practice.
Florida was last in the SEC and 116th nationally in total offense last season at 344.0 yards per game and was 107th in scoring offense (23.9 points per game). Florida and Vanderbilt are the only SEC teams this decade never to average 400 yards per game in a season.
