Florida’s defense has garnered a good deal of hype entering Friday’s Citrus Bowl contest against Michigan, and deservedly so.
But the Wolverines are sick and tired of hearing about it.
“All you hear about is their defense and what they've done,” defensive lineman Chris Wormley said. “We're gonna show the SEC what Michigan football is all about."
With the success both defenses have had this season, Friday’s matchup is likely to be a slugfest.
Florida ranked sixth in total defense and ninth in scoring defense during the 2015 season, which included matchups against Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry and other top running backs such as Leonard Fournette from LSU and Dalvin Cook from Florida State.
