Florida has lost its last three games, and a lot of that can be tied to starting quarterback John Brantley getting injured against Alabama.

Brantley had been playing the best football of his career before his injury, and when he went down the Florida offense plummeted.

As much as the offense tanked following Brantley’s departure, head coach Will Muschamp expects his return against Georgia this week to have a similar positive effect on the offense.

“He was really just playing very well, managing our team, getting us in-and-out of the right runs and if you really look at the first four-and-a-half ball games he was playing very well,” Muschamp said. “Certainly, getting him back is going to be a huge psychological shock for our football team. I really believe that.”
