When Will Muschamp was hired to replace Urban Meyer, his first initiative was to create a tougher, more physical roster.

Toward the end of Meyer’s time in Gainesville, the Florida Gators became far more finesse than physical. They lost the ability to punch an opponent in the mouth or take a shot to their own.

Muschamp looked to change that and bring in players who were willing to play his style of football. Perhaps the epitome of that mindset is sophomore fullback Hunter Joyer, a player that has not missed a game since Muschamp took over.
