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.

And were garbage. The ceiling on UF's offense is pretty low. Limited QB play, pedestrian WRs & TE and horrible OL. RB is the one position the Gators can hang their hat on.

Gators finish closer to 6-6 than the SECCG, IMO.
