GAINESVILLE — Each time Florida redshirt freshman defensive end Jabari Zuniga floods the opposing backfield, fifth-year senior Bryan Cox Jr.'s broken left hand throbs just a little bit less.
Cox does not want to miss out on the fun.
Proven veteran leaders and a burgeoning youth movement have combined to form a formidable unit that comes at opposing offenses in waves and anchors the SEC's top-ranked defense.
But until last week's 24-10 win against Georgia, some key pieces, including Cox, senior tackle Joey Ivie and redshirt junior end Jordan Sherit, were missing due to injury.
