The stats are deceiving — Florida is ranked near the the bottom of SEC defensive statistical category –but do not be fooled, Florida has a fantastic defense.
“They’re really good up front,” Eddie Gran said on Tuesday. “They’re really stout at linebacker, have a great secondary. It’s gonna be a a challenge for us. They do a really good job.”
Florida’s surrendered so many yards because they’ve been forced to stay on the field for so long, eventually wearing out late in the game. Kentucky must possess the ball for long periods of time. There’s no gimmicks to having success against this defense.
