If the college football season started tomorrow, who would start at what position and who’s behind him? That’s a question fans of every team invariably ask as we enter the home stretch of the countdown to kickoff, and perhaps it’s applicable to no team more than Florida.
So based on what I’ve seen from spring practice, fall practice so far, and what coaches and players are saying, here’s what I’m guessing the depth chart will look like to begin the season:
