Mullen is confident that more offensive fireworks are on the horizon. The 2020 Gators averaged 41.6 points during 11 SEC games and made 41 plays of 30 yards or longer, more than Alabama's national title-winning attack. O-line contributions elsewhere are critical.
The Gators are set with center Stewart Reese, left guard Ethan White and left tackle Richard Gouraige. No group has more to prove than the offensive line. Jacob Copeland and Xzavier Henderson are explosive athletes, 6'5", 227-pound Justin Shorter is a matchup problem and sure-handed slot receiver Trent Whittemore could be a security blanket.
UF will not improve on pass-catchers Kyle Pitts, Kadarius Toney and Trevon Grimes - a trio with 31 TD grabs in 2020 - but the Gators will reload with an array of weapons. Florida averaged a combined 130.5 yards per game rushing the past two seasons, a number Mullen aims to vastly increase. He will supplement a stable of tailbacks, led by Dameon Pierce, Nay'Quan Wright and Malik Davis - and, if eligible, Clemson transfer Demarkcus Bowman. Either way, Jones' mobility will be an asset.
