D-line taking shape

The Gators have a pretty good idea now how they will line up on the defensive line.

Muschamp said Jaye Howard, Omar Hunter and Dominique Easley can play nose tackle and tackle, while Leon Orr is playing nose tackle exclusively. Sharrif Floyd is starting at end, but can also play inside. The other top two ends are William Green and Earl Okine, while the top two Bucks are Ronald Powell and Kedric Johnson.

“Leon Orr is coming along and has done some nice things,” Muschamp said. “He's gotten his weight down and is playing with more endurance.
 
“If we have an injury at Buck, (starting outside linebacker) Lerentee McCray would play that position. That's where we are right now.”
