Some of UF's 2013 offensive rankings:

Total offense = 316.7 = #113
Rushing offense = 145.8 = #87
Passing offense = 170.9 = #107
Scoring offense = 18.8 = #112
Red zone offense = 69.8% = #119

So the Question, how much better will Florida's offense be in 2014 under Roper with all the healthy players returning?

Hopefully not enough to do better than 6-6. I want to take your 2015 'croots

I'm at the point with y'all's offense I refuse to believe it will improve significantly until I see it with my own eyes

Also, can y'all explain to me the reasoning that Driskel will be better this year?

Still bottom tier SEC, but better.

Kind of like Michigan State last year. They didn't improve on offense that much, but they improved enough

It has nowhere to go but up. I would say that you guys will be much improved with a healthy Driskell. I think UF has a real shot to be really good next year.

Similar position to our defense. If both teams improve the weakness the East should be fun next year.

The same reason everybody is better this year. The same reason Cubs fans think, during the winter when they trade for a 40 yr old LF, that they'll win it all. A new year brings new hope.

Is it too much asking for a top 50 offense?

Senior QB's tend to be the improved version of themselves. That isn't always the case but he has looked good at times. I think he will be good but I've never thought he was terrible.

My question is if Muschamp will give Roper full control?

Overall agree but it depends on how much mental scar tissue he's carrying around.

If the OLine stays healthy, I predict UF will have a top 60 offense (and if that happens I will be ecstatic).

This is question #1 and it's not even close.

Who really knows? Muschamp has always said that he never makes offensive play calls.

I think it'll be mostly Roper. You'll be able to tell right away based on the run pass distribution. If it's closer to 65-35 than 55-45 (which is what Roper runs), then you'll know Muschamp has a hand in it.

I agree but normally the senior QB gains a whole seasons worth of experience, Driskel didn't get that

With y'all's talent nothing wrong with it at all, however I'm not sure Boom can deliver one
