There has been plenty of concern about the Florida offense among Gators fans.
And with good reason.
Things sputtered in the second half of 2015, and the Gators are trying to break in new contributors at all of the key positions this spring.
But there was some encouraging news on Monday when Florida coach Jim McElwain addressed the media with an update on last Friday’s closed scrimmage.
McElwain said the Gators offense only had one three-and-out, signifying a desired level of consistency. He also acknowledged some explosive plays.
Mac said only one 3-and-out by #Gators offense. Explosive plays stood 'good to see,' he said.
