The Florida football defense has one big thing in mind for the Capital One Orange Bowl: Stop Bryce Perkins.
The Virginia quarterback has been the Cavaliers’ offensive stalwart heading into Monday’s bowl game in Miami.
Last season, Perkins went 225-for-349 with 2,680 yards and 25 touchdowns. This season, the senior from Arizona was 292-for-456 with 3,215 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Oh, on top of that, Perkins also has 745 yards on 213 carries and 11 touchdowns on the ground.
“I think this guy is really special in the sense that one if you watch from the continuity tape, I think he’s gotten better every game this year,” said Florida football defensive coordinator Todd Grantham.
