This should be the toughest test of the season for UF’s rebuilt secondary. As usual, Alabama’s wide receiving corps is loaded with former five-star recruits and future high draft picks. They’ve got Bryce Young, the No. 2 overall recruit in the class of 2020, throwing them the ball.
That would be a tough matchup for any secondary, but it’s even scarier considering that the Gators have 14 defensive backs who are in their first or second years as Gators and have struggled to defend the pass since the beginning of the 2020 season.
“[Young’s] a very talented guy,” UF defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said.
