Saturday’s game against LSU was not statistically Florida’s worst third down defense performance in the past few years, but it might as well have been.
The worst by straight numbers was in 2020 against Texas A&M, where UF allowed 12-of-15 (80%) conversions. The three stops were from Brenton Cox hitting the quarterback as he threw to force an errant pass, a fumble recovery after the receiver had gained enough yards to move the sticks, and a setup for a 4th & 2 where A&M then ran for a 19-yard touchdown.
LSU went 8-of-12 on third down for a 66.
