Sophomore tight end A.C. Leonard has returned to practice after receiving an indefinite suspension following his Feb. 15 arrest on charges of simple domestic battery.
As Florida’s offense sputtered to a No. 105 national ranking in yards per game last season, the line often took the majority of the blame.
It’s hard to view Ronald Powell’s first two seasons at Florida as anything better than a disappointment.

When Jeff Driskel enrolled at Florida last January, the nation’s top-rated high school quarterback was lost during spring practice; he admittedly had no idea what he was doing.

Not long after new offensive coordinator Brent Pease had been hired, Jeff Driskel and Jacoby Brissett were in his office, trying to get a copy of their new playbook.

At first glance, Will Muschamp’s hire of former Boise State offensive coordinator Brent Pease to fill the vacancy at Florida seems like a great one.
Tasked with hiring his second offensive coordinator in as many years, Florida coach Will Muschamp put his focus on finding the right fit for his team and system as he tries to rebuild Florida’s program.
Florida running back Jeff Demps finally came to his senses.
Brent Pease will be announced as Florida’s next offensive coordinator today, according to a source close to the team.
Greg: Alabama’s 21-0 win against LSU in the BCS title game may not have been the most entertaining to watch, but it reaffirmed one thing many of us already knew: The SEC is king.
