To paraphrase:
"UF has built depth at those four positions and recruited well in 2014 with Will Grier, Dalvin Cook and Ermon Lane in the fold. With the exception of tight end, the skill players have also shown some improvements this season when given the opportunity.
However, the one area that’s still struggling and doesn’t appear to be getting any better is offensive line. The unit is downright dreadful in pass protection and cannot consistently open holes in the run game, particularly against the elite teams in the SEC.
This is a line-of-scrimmage league, as Muschamp likes to say, and you won’t be successful if you’re not good up front.
So what went wrong with UF’s recruitment of offensive linemen? Most seem to think the Gators failed to sign enough highly-ranked prospects and didn’t land the top talent in the state of Florida.
Those two theories aren’t exactly accurate.
There are only three SEC teams in 2013 with two former Rivals100 members starting on their offensive line — Auburn, Florida and Tennessee. Muschamp said the Vols had the best line UF will face all season."
