A Florida Gators offense in grave need of improvement will get a key member of its front back in the lineup this week when fifth-year senior guard Jon Halapio returns.

Things we learned

From AJ McCarron praising an unsung hero for Alabama's win to Oregon's epic rout, here are the things we learned from the third weekend of college football play. **More ...**

UF coach Will Muschamp announced at the beginning of fall camp that Halapio would miss at least a week with a torn pectoral muscle. A week turned into a month.

Which turned into more than a month.

But Muschamp said Halapio practiced in full contact for the first time last week with no issues. The Gators face SEC East rival Tennessee on Saturday. After allowing 59 points to Oregon on the road, a Volunteers defense in tatters might be just the tonic the UF offense needs.

That, and one of the top senior offensive guard prospects in the nation in Halapio.
