Gators’ offensive makeover a testament to Mullen’s flexibility

The stylistic difference between the 2020 UF offense and the current one is truly astounding.

In 2020, the Gators led the nation in passing, and Kyle Trask broke the school records for passing yards and passing touchdowns in a single season. Tight end Kyle Pitts and receiver Kadarius Toney also enjoyed monster seasons and were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.

However, coach Dan Mullen showed little interest in running the ball, and, when he did, it was usually a simple handoff to a running back up the middle. They failed to eclipse 100 rushing yards in five of their 12 games.
