Numbers Show How Poor Florida's Offense Has Been Lately

The Florida Gators football program has seen better days this season, with the team coming off another loss this week.

Florida dropped another game last week, losing to the Oklahoma Sooners at home by a score of 23-7. From the opening kickoff, it was clear who the better team was, with the Gators coming out flat in the game.

The Gators now sit at 5-4 on the season, with the team feeling like they let an early hot start slip away. Florida jumped out to a good start under head coach Jon Sumrall, only to see the team be very inconsistent of late

This has especially been true on offense, with the Gators' unit completely sputtering over the last few weeks. During the hot start to the season for Florida, the offense was putting up over 494 yards each game, but the team hasn't come close to that number since.

Over the last five weeks of the season, Florida has gone over 325 yards in a game just once, showing a clear sign of problems. The Gators have been held down by defenses, no matter who has been under center.

Florida went with Tramell Jones Jr. against Oklahoma this past week, benching Aaron Philo after a shaky game against Georgia. But the change at quarterback didn't work well, with the team still struggling to score.

Jones finished the game completing just 10-of-22 passes for 133 yards and two interceptions against the Sooners. The signal-caller was also sacked three times, with the offensive line struggling to do much.

Florida was held to just 70 yards rushing on the day, with star Jadan Baugh again failing to put together a good game. Baugh's lackluster performances over the last few weeks have contributed to the issues for the Gators.

After an explosive start to the season, Baugh has struggled, being limited to under 100 yards rushing in each of the last five games. For the season, the star has rushed for 836 yards and 14 touchdowns.

The key for the Gators is to get Baugh going again, but his decline since the start of the season has been interesting to watch play out. Florida is going to have to find a way to get their star running back going again; otherwise, the final few games for the team could be tough for the entire offense.

Next up for the Gators is a game against the Kentucky Wildcats, which could be a tough challenge for this group if they can't score again.
