Gator Defense Not Just Bending. Is It Broken?

I know things are trending upward for Billy Napier’s group but it’s gonna take faith in things not yet seen — and ugly things you don’t want to see as true. Like being dead last in 3rd down defense — not just  in the SEC but *131st in the nation.

Plus these numbers:

DEFENSE

Total: 99th (412.8)

Rush: 110th (186)

Pass: 63rd (226.8)

Scoring: 63rd (25.3)

This is more than “bend but don’t break!” Looking more like a possible Crash and Burn? Talk to us Patrick Toney.

*The good news is that they are only 125th against FBS competition.
