A new era of Florida football will officially begin in a few weeks as Jim McElwain starts to rebuild the Gators toward title contention in the near future.
Florida has plenty of reasons for optimism under McElwain, an offensive-minded head coach who had championship-level success as a coordinator in the SEC before a pair of bowl trips in three seasons at Colorado State.
The Gators return seven starters from a fierce defense, including an elite secondary that features star cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III.
But there are plenty of question marks in Gainesville, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
