And, our QBs (even Grier) were above average at scrambling and slipped many sacks that Brantley or Driskel types would have taken.I knew our OL was bad but I had no idea we gave up the most sacks in the entire country last year.
I'm hopeful that Del Rio's inability to completely distance himself is at least partly due to Appleby also being a viable candidate. While I'd like to see us settle on one guy, the best scenario for us would be a competent guy right behind him, affording at least one of the freshman a redshirt, hopefully both.
Law is right on the OL. It's not a quick fix and we all kind of knew that going into the 2015 offseason. They did have their moments last year, and I think their late-season issues had as much to do with Treon's inabilities as their own. We should be better, but still a year away from where we need to be.
The lack of consistency at WR is probably the most disturbing part. Seems like copy and paste from every fall camp since 2008. I was really hoping Fulwood had grown up and taken the reigns, but it doesn't appear that way. The fact that between him, Worten, and Thompson we're still no closer to consistent solid play at WR tells me we need to just go ahead and bite the bullet with the new blood. The upperclassmen have been a serious waste of space.
Still love the av...great moment!!!!

Agreed!!!!For that act of character and inspirational leadership, Darrin Kitchens will always be one of the greatest of all-time Gators to me.
In all kinds of weather yada yada yada.
To be fair, quite a few of them were due to Treon holding the ball too long.I knew our OL was bad but I had no idea we gave up the most sacks in the entire country last year.
To be fair, ALMOST ALL of them were due to Treon holding the ball too long.
In all fairness to some of the veteran WR's I'm not really sure they've been coached worth a damn....Not making any excuses for them but still it could be an issue.
We'll be running in the 4th qtr after we're up 4 TDs.Well I'd take that all day long too....What I think though is we'll start off a lot of games with a quick passing attack and then settle into a more conventional, balanced offense as the game progresses. It will both keep the defense off the los and keep our better offensive linemen from getting gassed and having to use guys who may not be ready. Make no mistake about it though, we'll have a somewhat punishing ground attack, but it won't be run first IMO.

Yepper, competent QB and passing game will do wonders for the ground game.I wish I could like this post more than once...
I think by design we'll pass the ball a higher percentage of times in the first half of games. We don't have a deep enough rotation of quality offensive linemen at this point to impose our will early in most games at least against league competition. That quick read 5-15 yard passing game will help our line stay fresh then let a tired and frustrated defense tackle Thompson and Kronk late in the 3rd and into the 4th quarters.....Oh, and when they start to crowd the los Mac will hit em deep off play action. I think this is going to be a fun year to watch our offense develop into what we've all been hoping for. I'm not sure about everyone else but I have confidence in Mac's offensive gameplanning. We just need the players to be on the same page.
