The Florida Gators are coming off a 10-3 season in 2018, which featured a 41-15 win over Michigan in the Peach Bowl. UF finished the season ranked No. 7 in the AP poll.

The Gators look to replace four key players on defense in 2019 as defensive end Jachai Polite, defensive end CeCe Jefferson, linebacker Vosean Joseph, and defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson all leave. On offense, running back Jordan Scarlett bolted early for the NFL, but the trio of Lamical Perine, Dameon Pierce, and Malik Davis have shown they are all capable and all have big play making ability. The offensive line lost four starters, and how that group develops this spring will be key to the Gators continued success in 2019.

Florida returns starting quarterback Feleipe Franks, who saw his play turn around under Mullen in year one. Much of that turn around has to do with Franks' comfort level with the offense.

"Throughout the week, all of our players are comfortable with the gameplan," Franks said. "Going in, there's not one person that doesn't know the gameplan in and out. Coach Mullen calls the play no matter what the situation is, 4th-and-1, any time of the game. We all have trust that everyone's going to execute and do their job and execute the play to where it's supposed to be executed at at a high level.

"We all have that trust in coach Mullen and the offensive staff. It's something that we're excited for each play. It's a new play and we're excited for it."
