I'm curious. Is Florida dominant on the 2 deep at OL and DL? So much so that a couple of injuries has no dropoff?
Or is Florida average/below average on the starting spot for the OL/DL so much so that a couple of injuries has no dropoff?
18 of our 22 starters are upperclassmen, the few who are underclassmen and starting played a lot of snaps last year.
Losing an upperclassman to injury or suspension would hurt any program, but you guys are asking if we'll be in trouble if we lose several players at the same position -- of course we will, any team would.
Losing backup DLs isn't a big deal, though, that position still has a ton of talent but if we lose three guys well duh we'll be in trouble.
On OL that's a different story, but I figure by the sixth game of the season we'll have rotated a few guys in to give them much needed experience.
This is a year, though, where it doesn't matter who is behind the starters, we don't want to lose them because of the experience. OL is literally the only position where we could be in trouble with multiple injuries if the guys behind them aren't developing.

You gave a long answer without really answering the question.
Based on 2018, uga was average on the 2 deep at ILB. So much so that losing rice didn't drop off the level of play. We could have also lost another ILB, and the play would have remained consistent.
But when Jordan Davis got hurt in 2018 at NT, there was a significant dropoff in our play. The backups were average, and it showed against Bama and Texas.
It was different on offense in 2018. Our starters went down on the OL and Cade Mays played at an elite level. Jamaree Salyer played at an elite level. We were great on the 2 deep.
How do you see the OL and DL at Florida?
