The Florida Gators had no claim to the coveted DBU title in 2020. A longstanding tradition fell hard as it became one of the most problematic position groups on the team.
In reality, Florida’s secondary has not been consistently dominant in years, but no one wanted to talk about it. Last season was just too poor to overlook.
Despite having experience in all starting roles, the Gators looked lost time and again. Florida did not see quite the decline its DBU rival LSU did in defending the pass, but finished 8th in the SEC, allowing 257.5 passing yards per game.
