My lack of knowledge about the Gators is why I initiated this post. You've done a good job educating me. Another statistic that I would like to hear you pontificate on is Florida's national ranking in the running game last season. I saw where you were 107th in the country. Now, experience is a huge factor on the OL and your guys have another year under their belts, but Lamichael Perrine (sp?) was your top back and he is gone. How much can you improve those running game numbers?
2019 Run blocking was the main problem causing
'inconsistent' performance.
That looks to be greatly improved for 2020.
LT Gouraige 6-4 298 rsSo - 12 Gms in 2019, 5 starts at LG
LG White
6-5 330 So - 6 Gms in 2019, 1 start at RG
OC Heggie
6-4 330 rsSr - 12 Gms in 2019, 12 starts at LT & RT.
RG Reese
6-5 345 Grad-Sr - former starter RT & RG at MsSt
RT Forsythe
6-7 329 rsSr - former starting LT
(road graders)
Any of the other OL'men could make a summer/fall move to become a new starter and the quality depth problem continues to be addressed.
Perine had a
5.4 ypc with 6 TD's - NFL Jets
Pierce had a
5.6 ypc with 4 TD's as the Soph backup.

Keep in mind that Trask did as well as he did while overcoming a lack of a consistent running game to help keep the pressure off him.
Pontification complete....
