Florida's 2nd half defense has been disgusting.

One of the most important, though oft overlooked stat in football on any level, pro or college Coaches are always talking about getting off the field on 3rd down, even though it gets less air time than other stats.

Any of the four are good enough to stop any offense in the NCAA.
Each have their specific strengths.

I was about to say a lot of SC's yardage and points given up have come deep in the 4th when the game is in hand and then this stat popped up.

I dont know... I would say LSU but our D is on the field for 80% of the game, which is no fault of their own, and are dead. Love the D, hate the O.
Guess ill say its Bama or UF.

You have to hate those garbage TDs...

All of these defenses are good at different things, I would say Alabama's 16 is alot, they have played 5 games yes, but in the game against Michigan the object was not to let him run rather just take away the lane and force him to throw it, so there wasn't a great threat for him being sacked, DE or OL just kept contain, Alabam has a very good pass rush this year, so does South Carolina, and LSU both have incredible defenseive ends. Florida plays much more like Bama where QB pressure is not of great importance just play your specific role, and things will work out.

Here's another defensive stat, with national rankings per FBS:
Red-Zone Defense:
3. Alabama: 4 scores in 7 drives (4 TDs)
9. South Carolina: 9 scores in 14 drives (4 TDs, 5 FGs)
73. Florida: 10 scores in 12 drives (7 TDs, 3 FGs)
115. LSU: 10 scores in 10 drives (8 TDs, 2 FGs) - (tied for last in FBS with several)
Looks like if you can get to the 20 yd line or closer against either Florida or LSU, you stand a VERY good chance of scoring, and even scoring TDs as opposed to FGs....
