Scouting Report

No SEC head coach is more underrated than Florida’s Jim McElwain. He took a drowning program after Will Muschamp was fired and turned them into a contender in the conference every single season for the first time since Urban Meyer left the Gators for the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Florida claimed back-to-back SEC East Titles in 2015 and 2016. They’re looking to win their third consecutive SEC East Championship to mark themselves as the dominant force in the SEC East. The amount of skill that the Gators possess on both sides of the ball is scary. They just have to figure out the quarterback position.

The one real opportunity Florida had to find a solution at quarterback, Will Grier, is now a West Virginia Mountaineer. McElwain hopes that freshman Feleipe Franks can be the answer to the quarterback problem that plagued the Gators ever since Greir left the program in 2015. If not, redshirt freshman Kyle Trask is ready to take the reins away from Franks.

Keeping up the success that Florida has to established for themselves over the last two years is the biggest key to them being the second best SEC program over the next decade. They might not win a National Championship in the next 10 years but they can continue to rack up division titles in the most notoriously difficult conference in college football.
