As Florida fans watched the Gators’ spring game, a spark of hope was ignited as the offense showed flashes of excitement and fun. It was just a spring game, yes, but those same fans have sat and watched an offense that has sputtered season after season.
The last time Florida’s offense ranked in the top 50 in either scoring or total yards was in 2010, when Urban Meyer was the coach. In fact, Florida’s average ranking among FBS programs from 2011 to 2017 in each category was 90th and 107th.
Those numbers are, in large part, why Dan Mullen is now the coach.
