    A lot more defense. The Greenards, Polites, CJs and Zunigas’, were gone at that point.

    With a good defense, it's game over

    I hate to admit it, but after the tamu loss, in which the defense had no answers for the run, I had a sense of doom and foreboding about the future of the season for that team. As good as the passing game was, and statistically speaking, the best passing offense in UF history, if you can't stop a teams run game, and UF could not, well, you are not going to win championships.

    Run the ball and stop the run. That's the one rule in football that if you can't do that, you're just not a very good team. I worry about us being able to stop the run this year.

    Agree, in fact, I still worry about defense as well. The only good defense we have seen in 5 years, was last year starting at UT. Lets hope the defense of the second half of the season from last year continues to trend in the right direction in 25.

    Some of our best run defenders have moved on. I hope the guys replacing them can do as well.

    I have more confidence in the offense being good than the defense, based on what you just posted. A good bit of turnover.
    The younguns really need to step up.

    Sapp, Gumbs, Banks are an impressive trio to build around. Sapp may be 1st team all SEC. A few others on the line are solid and should improve. I trust a few more will step up and get quality time as well.

    Linebackers are going to be nails.
