Opponent Preview: Florida Gators Defense

Florida is ringing in a new era under new head coach Billy Napier, and he brings with him a pair of co-defensive coordinators with an impressive pedigree that should have this new-look Gators defense ready to roll come Saturday night in the Swamp.

Patrick Toney, one of Florida’s defensive coordinators, joins Napier after working with the head ball coach in Louisiana for the last four seasons, including two seasons as sole defensive coordinator for the Rajin’ Cajuns, a team that ranked 11th nationally in total defense in 2011. He’s joined by Sean Spencer, otherwise known as “Coach Chaos” .
