I just don't see UF as having particularly strong personnel in the trenches.


Florida should have one of the better offensive lines in the SEC.

Former #2 overall recruit junior Martez Ivey at left tackle
Freshman All American sophomore Jawaan Taylor at right tackle
Former 4 star UA All American redshirt freshman Brett Heggie or junior Tyler Jordan at G
Tyler Jordan or 6'6 340 lb one year starter Fred Johnson at G
TJ McCoy at center, who started midway through last season and the run game was at its best with him in the lineup.

I really like Florida's OL this year.

The front seven on defense is going to be strong again too. Between defensive linemen like Cece Jefferson, freshman all SEC and all time freshman sack leader at UF last year Jabari Zuniga, three year contributors Khari Clark and Taven Bryan, former 5 star sophomore (got sick last year and lost 50 lb but back to normal weight now) Antonneous Clayton, amongst other contributors on the DL like 3 year contributor Jordan Sherit and Jachai Polite and incoming freshmen the defensive line will be fine.

Linebackers including freshman all sec David Reese, hard hitting guy like Vosean Joseph who came on at the end of his freshman year last year and led the team in tackles the last four games of the season, and rising sophomore linebacker Kylan Johnson who had 41 tackles in a reserve role.

Florida is not taking a huge step back on defense. They will be top 15, again, like they have been every year in the last 30 years except for 2007. Muschamp didn't invent defense at UF boys

I believe Florida has a big year. I see them coming to Atlanta 11-1 against Bama 11-1. Should be a great match up.

I know UF has some good players. I just don't see that as being particularly strong. UGA and UT have good players too.

He kinda did.UF finished with a top 8 defense 5 outta of the last 6 years (the otherfinished 15th)He was the coach or it was his players recruited that produced those results.Unprecedented in the last 20 years and
Probably in its history.

Him and his staff were beyond exceptional when evaluating defensive talent.
There's absolutely no way UF produces NFL talent/draft picks these next 2 years compared to the previous 2 .UF produced 12 NFL defensive draft picks plus at least 1 FA that made a NFL roster including 3 #1's.I highly doubt you had a better run in your history

You weren't top 15 in '99, '00,'02,'03,'04,'07, and '08 I couldn't go back any further so I kinda think the rest of your statement is BS.

No doubt Spurrier and Meyer teams produced very good, top 10 defenses but nothing like the sustained run you had over the last 6 years.
