No. 11 Florida Has One of Country’s Best Secondaries

Another week, another solid defense Missouri has to face.

No. 11 Florida has been one of the country’s best teams at shutting down opposing quarterbacks, allowing just 170.1 yards per game (11th in FBS, 2nd in SEC) on 52.3 percent passing. On top of that, they’ve let up just eight touchdowns through the air through their first eight games.

However, five of those came in the Gators’ past two games against No. 6 Georgia and Vanderbilt. Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm had himself a day, going 17-for-24 (70.8 percent) for 240 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bulldogs’ win last week.
