If there's any team in the SEC that can match talent with the defensive unit of the Crimson Tide, it is the Florida Gators
A hard-nose, nearly-impenetrable run defense. A front-seven featuring several future NFL players. A secondary studded with world-class defensive back talent. A defense that forces opposing offenses to pick a poison, and then suffer from its lethal side effects over the course of four quarters.
The above could definitely be considered a description of the Alabama Crimson Tide defense. However, it could just easily apply to the unit Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins has wielded in his first season with the Gators.
