There weren’t many aspects to criticize about the 2019 Gators. A second-straight double-digit win season, a win in a New Year’s Six bowl for the second year in a row and blowout wins over rivals Tennessee and Florida State is usually enough to please a fanbase.
But the Gators’ offensive Achilles’ heel was pretty obvious.
After rushing for over 210 yards per game in 2018, Florida had 130 last season. The Gators had just 4.24 yards per carry in 2019 compared to 5.3 the year prior. UF’s running game went from a strength in 2018 to a detriment in 2019.
