The Florida football run defense is not good and it will hurt them against Georgia.
While shutting down two FCS rush attacks plus Tennessee’s has propped up its overall numbers, Florida has really struggled against the better running backs that it has faced.
Also, those running backs performed better against Florida than their average against Power Five competition.
Let’s break it down:
- Miami’s DeeJay Dallas ran for 8.5 YPC behind a young and inept offensive line.
- Kentucky’s Kavosiey Smoke ran for 5 YPC.
- LSU’s Clyde Edwards-Helaire ran for 10.
