GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Sitting at 8-3 with the chance to finally unseat Florida State after five years of futility, Florida fans have plenty to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.

First-year coach Dan Mullen has led a remarkable turnaround in Gainesville and has the Gators poised to reach a New Year's Six bowl for the first time in program history with a win on Saturday.

While nothing is guaranteed in the annual showdown with the Seminoles, what fans can say with certainty is that Mullen has produced a product that is far more appealing to watch than anything they've seen since Tim Tebow departed. Mullen has orchestrated some ridiculous turnarounds in terms of the offensive numbers, despite working with much the same roster that saw Florida rank near the bottom of the nation in most major offensive categories a year ago.

Even compared to the best post-Tebow years, his offense stands head and shoulders better than what Florida has produced since then.

Swamp247 takes a look at some of the major improvements Mullen has made on offense, giving fans a chance to be thankful for what the first-year coach has already done ... and what is sure to come down the road.
