Florida football: Gators need healthy defense for Georgia

With the outstanding play of the defensive backs to any linebackers and D lineman that has come through, the defense has been a staple of Florida football this season.

This year has been tough for the Florida football defense as they have struggled with injuries.

It would not surprise me if the total amount of minutes the whole starting defense has played together this season was under 20. With a couple of the big injuries going to the defensive ends, Jabari Zuniga, and Jonathan Greenard.

The defense has stepped up all season and dealt with injuries with the old, “next man up,” attitude and they have done a great job, but to beat Georgia November 2, they will need all hands on deck.
