How have the Florida Gators grown since Mac’s first spring?

Jim McElwain’s first spring football camp was filled with questions marks. He was left with a Florida Gators football team largely comprised of players he didn’t recruit and didn’t know. McElwain and his coaching staff had to make things work while balancing trying to hold a full camp with just six offensive linemen, no proven playmakers and an offense that had sputtered to a halt the previous three seasons.

Needless to say, Mac figured something out. Florida exceeded all expectations on their way to becoming SEC East Champions in a 10-win season. With the start of spring practice just one day away McElwain the Florida coaching staff face a new set of problems, some old and some new.
