February 22nd, 2012 Nick de la Torre

Head coach Will Muschamp knows as well as anyone that Gator Nation will not tolerate too many 7-6 seasons. He and the coaching staff have already started the process of turning the football program around.

The Gators had the third-ranked recruiting class according to Rivals, and more importantly, are recruiting the type of players that fit the offensive and defensive schemes the team wants to run. Much of last year, the Gators were hampered in their ability to run the type of offense they wanted due to being undersized along the offensive line and in the backfield.

“They’re going to change up defenses. They’ll do 2-2-1 press, they’ll do 2-3 zone, they’ll play man-to-man, they’ll do a lot of different things,” Donovan said. “They’re a very aggressive, hard-playing team.”
