The Ole Miss pass defense had a tough time in Gainesville on Saturday.
The defense has performed well in all of the previous match-ups, but without junior safety Tony Connor, the secondary struggled in containing the Gator receivers and tight ends and allowed 271 yards through the air and four touchdowns.
With Connor out, the secondary is trying out a significant shift to try and make up for his loss.
“We struggled a little at the Huskie position the last couple weeks, not because of a lack of effort or having the experience Tony had, or the tackling skill or physicality,” head coach Hugh Freeze said.
