Franks needs to stay in the film room. He has to make better and quicker decisions. He also needs to work on his foot quickness. Until the new folks on the O-line "gel", Franks has to get them out of bad situations.It's not just wanting to win that counts; it's wanting to do the preparation and the training it takes to win. This first takes place in the mind with the belief that winning is possible.

I give it 50/50 at best.
I like the attitude. But most times a run at the NC requires an experienced (upperclassmen dominate) team, great special teams, and some luck.
We are light in the middle of the D-line, LBs are too small, secondary should be a strength. The O has the skill players (except QB decision making under pressure) but a new line.
IMO: 2-3 years away.
25-1. Right up there with Oregon and Washington.Florida has the 8th highest odds to win national title according to Vegas.
Florida among Vegas favorites to win 2019 national title
I’m putting all my Oxbucks on it. Gonna be rich!25-1. Right up there with Oregon and Washington.
We aren't there yet, but boy is it great to be in the conversation again.

Beat the leghumpers. The rest will fall into place.I agree that it is great to have so called experts talking up our Gators. Of course with all the talk comes the pressure of expectations. I had an old coach who used to say all potential means is that you haven't done anything. (being a good old boy from Davie Fla. he actually said "done nothin") For me I want to beat the Dawgs and win the East. I actually believe beating UGA may be easier than winning the East. Missouri, Kentucky and even the Cocks ,all on the road, are all toss ups at best. Not to mention the Tigers in Red Stick.
I for one am not a Kirby Smart believer, and even with his 5 star studs we have the real advantage with DM calling the plays. Like back in the Spurrier days I believe we can go into every game knowing that we have the edge in coaching. We still have to win, and in the SEC there are no walk overs.
The O-line is about chemistry and communication. Both take time and, sometimes, years. I think the O-line will have issues next season, which will remind everyone that our QB is a slow decision maker and makes bad decisions when under constant pressure (sacks and Ints). I think we take a step back next season because of it OR the D really steps up.I know this is not going to be popular, but given the fact that we will lose almost our entire OL unit, I find to be a real stretch getting to a Natty. I have been wrong about almost the entire last season. This is one crow I would gladly eat.
