First-year offensive coordinator Kurt Roper is the man responsible for getting the Gators offense back on track after a miserable year the year before. One of the players Roper has at his disposal is sophomore running back Kelvin Taylor who is in line for a monster second season.
Taylor, the son of former Florida great Fred Taylor, started off slow as a freshman before coming on late and he started out with a band this season with a 31-yard touchdown run one play after an Eastern Michigan fumble.
The duo of Taylor and Matt Jones who started when he was healthy last year could be a formidable duo to complement quarterback Jeff Driskel and put some points up on the scoreboard and get back to winning football in The Swamp.
Jones added a 40-yard touchdown run of his own after Taylor scored and these two could form a healthy competition to see who finished with the most yards and touchdowns this year. That will only make each other better and help Florida win more games.
