Florida just scored one touchdown in back-to-back games, and the Swamp doesn't scare anybody anymore.

Florida Gators Q&A: It's Tramell Time | What Changes for Faulkner's Offense? | Play More Young Guys?
Gator Nation has made its call at quarterback, and the question now is what Florida does with it. In this Gators Breakdown Q&A, David Waters takes your questions on whether Tramell Jones should get the first-team reps the rest of the way, why Buster Faulkner doesn't need a mobile QB to run his offense, whether the portal is the answer at the position, and when the young guys start taking snaps from struggling seniors. Plus, why outside zone and the screen game have stalled and what the staff can realistically adjust with the tackles and receiver injuries limiting this offense. #FloridaGators #GatorsFootball #SECFootball #CollegeFootball #GatorsBreakdown #GoGators #CFB #FloridaGatorsFootball JOIN Gators Breakdown Plus: https://gatorsbreakdownplus.com Gators Breakdown Merch: https://gatorsbreakdown.printful.me Get Florida Gators merch at Fanatics: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/DVYxja Questions or comments?
