Muschamp: Gators Already Better Than Last Seasons Team
Really interesting comment from Florida head coach Will Muschamp last night just before he spoke to the Titletown Gator Club in Gainesville.
“I mean this: I think we’re better right now than we were at any point last year,”
Must have been one heck of a spring practice coach as that is quite a statement to make. I know that last years 7-6 Gator team was a disappointment, but what you have now is better?
Let me look at this for a second. Right now, Florida quarterbacks have a combined two career starts. The projected starting running back, a senior, has never started a game. And the wide receivers have been MIA for the last two seasons.
The reason for Muschamp’s optimism is new offensive line coach Tim Davis and the improvement in the OL:
“I think we made tremendous progress [on the offensive line],” Muschamp said. “I think Tim Davis has done really good job with those guys gelling and coming together. That’s where we’re different.”
I do believe that Florida will be better next season than they were last season. Muschamp has recruited really well and I expect several of the highly touted incoming freshman to make an immediate impact.
But going from 7-6 to 8-5 is an improvement and going to 9-4 is a big jump. I cannot see Florida improving more than that at the moment.
