Was looking at your schedule and your out dated depth chart to get a feel on how your season could go. Personally i think that Florida is being overlooked

We will be loaded and better all around...depth is an issue at OL with six solid ones that will be very good.
Driskel will surprise folks...the WR corps will also be upgraded just by experience from last year with three to four that will be playmakers.
TE is a question mark.
Defense is stacked and DL has depth and talent. The LB ranks will be solid and able to really be formidable...secondary will be solid also.
Special teams is another question mark and we hope to iron out kicking woes this spring.
I like the schedule with LSU, Mizzou, USC all at home...factor in a new qb at UGA and Bama...its possible we go to Hotlanta....just cant get injured on the OL.

Too many moving parts right now to say for absolutely certain, but here is a little run down:
Offense:
1 QB (if you count Driskel)
1 FB/HB (Hunter Joyer)
3 RB (Taylor, Brown, and Jones all started games, but most will list Taylor as the returning starter I would think)
3 WR (Dunbar, Fulwood, and Debose have all started games)
2 TE (Clay Burton and Tevin Westbrook have both started games, although neither is really an offensive threat).
5 OL (Garcia, Moore, Green, Humprhies, and Brown have all started games for Florida)
It's really hard to nail down with all the injuries, for example, Chaz Green on the OL was the starter all of 2012 but was hurt all of 2013, and will start in 2014. Garcia played mostly at guard in 2013 but will start at center in 2014. See? Tons of moving parts.
Defense:
4 DL - obviously lost Easley, but Cummings, Orr, Fowler Jr, and Bullard all started a lot of games.
4 LB - Davis, Taylor, Morrison, and Ball. Lots of starts there. Davis only started 1, so maybe you can call him a back up, but he played a ton.
4 DB - Hargreaves, Poole, Gorman, and Maye all made a lot of starts in 2013.
Poole and Maye were nickel and dime starters. In the games where UF opened in those formations, they started. Maye also started a few games at safety. Also, the LB starts for UF are reduced because UF opens in nickel a lot.
Lots of moving parts. UF has a very experienced team coming back. The only hole is really at DB, where they will have some youth at CB, opposite of VH3.

UF could be getting overlooked. It all depends on the offense. The Defense will be better than it was last year, so if the offense can step up, UF could surprise.

I always thought Driskel could be a very good QB for them. If he starts to gel the gators could be tough. Still think they've got some work to do on the OL and their running game, but the defense will be good enough for them to win a lot of games if their offense doesn't implode like last season.

Eh I don't. Completely new offensive scheme and a defense that lost more than people think.
