Ground zero for Week 0: the line of scrimmage

The Florida football team is experiencing unfamiliar continuity under center in returning starting quarterback Feleipe Franks. The same cannot be said for the offensive line, the unit charged with protecting the focal point of the Gators offense.

The five-man unit consisting of redshirt senior Nick Buchanan, redshirt juniors Stone Forsythe, Brett Heggie and Jean Delance and redshirt freshman Christopher Bleich has been one of the biggest talking points surrounding the team this offseason. Buchanan is the only returning starter to a line that lost four starters, most notably Jawaan Taylor, a second round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
