The Florida Gators were one of the worst teams in the country in the red zone offensively, but defensively they were one of the best. But not THE best. That honor is reserved for the Vanderbilt Commodores.
And that leads us to no. 65 on the Southbound and Down College Football Countdown.
The Vanderbilt Commodores defensive red zone scoring percentage was 65.3 percent in 2016
The Commodores allowed opponents to score on 65.3 percent of red zone attempts in 2016, giving them the no. 1 red zone defense in college football. Florida was a close second, allowing opponents to score on 71.
