One of the biggest storylines of the 2016 season has been the lack of significant improvement from Florida’s offense in the second year of the Jim McElwain era.

Under the leadership of McElwain and offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier, the Gators have actually dropped in the statistical rankings from a year ago to now in total offense (from 112th nationally to 115th) and scoring offense (from 100th to 109th). Although Florida has managed to find some silver linings at some of its skill positions - like running backs Jordan Scarlett and Lamical Perine, and wide receivers Antonio Callaway and Tyrie Cleveland, among others – many questions still linger about the offense heading into the offseason.

Will Florida find more playmakers at wide receivers and can its top contributors perform at a more consistent level? Can Scarlett and Perine take their games to the next level in 2017? Will the offensive line play with more consistency and finally take a significant leap with another year of experience under its belt? Can Florida’s tight ends live up to their potential after a mostly underwhelming 2016? Will the offensive game plan show some more creativity in year three – and will the execution improve as well?

And perhaps the biggest burning question: Will the Gators finally find an answer at the quarterback position after seven seasons of primarily instability following Tim Tebow’s departure?
