UF's defense practicing above The Line

Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins gets hyped up and smiles a lot when he talks about his defense.

He obviously likes what he’s got.

“The biggest thing, and I didn’t know this when I was first hired, it might be the most competitive group of kids I’ve ever been around,” Collins said Wednesday. “If you put a ball down or say there’s a winner or loser or some kind of competitive situation, these guys just thrive and shine.

“That’s been a great thing to be a part of and be around. They’re highly intelligent, hard workers and they compete every single day.
