I don't think they will be down for long, but honestly, last year was more of an outlier year than this year. WIthout the injuries, they wouldn't have been nearly as bad, but I still think they would have been average. 2012 they won 11 games by squeaking by most of their opponents. When everything evens out on the wash, they overachieved in 2012 and underachieved in 2013.

As to their coming back quickly, I am not so sure about that. Their OL is a total mess and very thin mess at the moment. What everyone keeps dismissing about AU, is that the talent was there with really no drop in recruiting. That talent just sat down and pouted last year. I know UF has some offensive talent coming in this year, but this talent seems to get to Gainesville and disappear of late. The defense should still be good.

We will see about the SEC East- I don't think USC and Missouri drop off too much next year, even with the personnel losses. Kentucky may eventually improve. Vandy steps back-mainly because I think they lose Franklin to Texas. UGA will be somewhat in the air. If the injured guys are all ready to go, then even with Mason replacing Murray and the OL replacing a few, UGA will be very hard to stop. Another year can only help the defense, and they will also be adding some more talented depth to the defensive backfield.

I think you will see UF with around 8 wins next year.

if you judge a program by their history that's wrong. This year was Florida's worst year of football in 40 years and they've had a lot of 11 plus win seasons in just the last 20 years
