Leading the way is the duo of Caleb Brantley and end Cece Jefferson.<\/p>\n<h3>Team Weaknesses<\/h3>\n<p>How the Gators managed to play decent on offense last season was a testament to the quality coaching of first-year coach Jim McElwain. The Gators averaged 23.2 points per game and 334.9 total yards per game. That being said, the Gators will have a number of issues to address in the offseason if they intend to contend in the SEC East. That includes the offensive line, which was a bundle of disappointment in 2015, allowing 46 sacks\u2014sixth most in the FBS.<\/p>\n<h3>2015 Team Stats<\/h3>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Category<\/th>\n<th>Stat (Rank)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Points per game<\/th>\n<th>23.2 <small>(#97)<\/small><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Passing yards per game<\/th>\n<th>\u00a0206.9 <small>(#80)<\/small><small><\/small><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Rushing yards per game<\/th>\n<th>\u00a0128.0 <small>(#107<\/small>)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Scoring defense<\/th>\n<th>18.3 <small>(#10<\/small>)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Florida finishes the regular season with a 8-4 record.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on the upcoming NCAA football season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/40\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-111920 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/620x110-250FREE-6-16-16.gif\" alt=\"620x110-250FREE-6-16-16\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"114574\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,478&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2016 Florida Gators Football Preview Team Strengths Look for the Gators&#8217; defense to still pack a bite despite seeing a number of elite pieces to the pros.
