Florida: Defense
Florida’s offense is a work in progress, but the defense? A whole other story. They should welcome a challenge from Joshua Dobbs, Will Hurd, and a host of Vols receivers.
But don’t worry, these Gators have a host of weapons themselves. For one thing, Florida’s Jonathan Bullard was the SEC’s Defensive Lineman of the Week … and for good reason. The beast had two sacks and five total tackles against UK.
Another player to watch? None other than Vernon Hargreaves III, UF’s standout corner. ‘14’s second-team All-American has already collected eight tackles and two interceptions this season.
They’re not the only talented defenders, but they’ll provide plenty of highlights.
