The Florida Gators offensive line has been a point of contention for their play the past four years and it was a position that Jim McElwain honed in on immediately upon taking over as head coach of the Florida Gators.
Somehow Florida resembled a team that had been devastated by NCAA sanctions with just six offensive linemen on scholarship. No, Florida didn’t have recruiting sanctions limiting their numbers on the offensive line; the pitiful total falls on the shoulders of the previous coaching staff, injuries and transfers. McElwain was dealt a raw hand, but he has pulled several cards out of his sleeve and, unbelievably, the Gators offensive line now appears to be at least full enough and competent enough to make it through the season.
