Florida’s defense had an excellent day overall against LSU. It had a couple breakdowns here and there and were helped out by some drops by Tiger receivers, but in the end, they only gave up 19 points. Three of those points even came on a mere 18-yard drive after field position set the LSU offense up well.
Here are the big takeaways I had from closely rewatching what the defense did.
Personnel packages
After a week spent defending Mississippi State’s receiver-laden spread sets, the Gators were back to defending against an offense rooted in older principles like it had to against Colorado State and Tennessee.
