In the blink of an eye, spring for Florida football has come and gone. The Orange and Blue game allowed several players to showcase their talent.
The Gators had plenty of question marks entering spring practice. Who will start at quarterback? Who will replace key contributors lost to graduation and the NFL draft? Will Dan Mullen continue to create a culture of relentless effort and fun?
Some of these questions won’t be fully answered until the beginning of the regular season, of course. The Orange and Blue game did, however, provide some insight into the important questions for this Florida team.
One answer we can definitely answer is that Mullen and company continue to emphasis fun while rebuilding this program. Mullen’s laidback demeanor, the player’s looseness and the record number of points made for a football game to remember – not a usual occurrence this early in the year.
Importantly, several players had show-out performances, giving the fans and coaching staff tangible evidence of progress from this spring. As we enter a new football-hiatus, let’s review who made the most of their opportunities during Florida’s spring game.
