Welcome, new students, to the alligatorSports 2011 Gators Football Preview Edition. As you stroll across campus trying to find your dorm or location of your first class, we hope you’ll thumb through the following pages that we worked hard to fill with tons of need-to-know Florida football information.
Starting on page 46, we break down the Gators position by position, starting with the most important: quarterback. Senior John Brantley is the starter in Florida’s new pro-style offense. How will he bounce back from a dismal 2010?
After sharing time with Brantley a year ago, sophomores Trey Burton and Jordan Reed both have new positions.
Jeff Demps is back for his senior season and Chris Rainey is supposedly a new man. But can they run behind an offensive line that lost three starters to the NFL?
There are question marks at wide receiver. Is there a go-to guy? Can Andre Debose get on the field and make plays?
What about the defense? Last year’s “Big Three” were largely unimpressive. Have they matured after coming in with an entitled attitude? How will Florida replace Janoris Jenkins and Ahmad Black in the secondary?
We examine all of these topics and more in this edition, including a breakdown of the incoming 2012 recruiting class.
And if you need help finding The Swamp or The O-Dome, flip on over to page 50 for a comprehensive map of all things sports.
Thanks for reading.
