How much will the relatively young offensive line improve?

The Gators entered this season with major questions up front, but they did a decent job coping with their youth and suspect talent level at certain positions for the first half of the season.

As the season progressed, however, the play in the trenches continued to decline — quickly.

Injuries and inexperience caught up with the Florida offensive line and ultimately prevented the Gators from having any kind of success both moving the football and putting points on the scoreboard.

An added year of experience and the addition of some high-caliber recruits should help immensely in 2016.
