GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Even though Dan Mullen has enjoyed plenty of success as a head coach at Mississippi State and Florida, he's never won more than 10 games in a season.
He seems poised for a breakthrough.
He certainly has a team capable of making it happen.
Mullen opened his second season with the Gators on Friday amid the program's highest expectations in nearly a decade. Florida made a six-win jump in Mullen's inaugural campaign and believes a number of returning starters and coaching continuity will help maintain the upward trend.
Florida will play Miami on Aug.
