They have a lot of team speed on both sides of the ball
This is one of the biggest fraudulent statements in college football. They have excellent coaching. McElwain is already turning that program around in the right direction. But it's all about coaching up the 3 star commits a school gets. It's not nearly as difficult to coach up the 4 and 5 stars, but it's still an accomplishment. You can't tell me that all of the players on UF's defense were 5 stars out of high school. But the coaching staff gets them well-prepared and they take the best angles to the ball carrier. If they even had an average QB, they would probably give Alabama a major scare.

I think if UF's defense is susceptible to anything it's a power running gme. We better not try that cute stuff like the jet sweeps. That's playing right into the Gators' strong suit - team speed.
Fortunately for Bama, as much as this OL has not measured up to the better OLs in recent past, if they can get UF's front 7 in a phone booth and maul them we can move the ball. Hat on hat drive blocking is one thing they can do. If UF forces us into a lot of 3rd & longs, the game will stay uncomfortably close.
Bama 31-3

You're way off. Of course all the D's players weren't five starts (no team's is), but you're vastly underrating the talent on that side of the ball.
CeCe Jefferson 5 star
Jon Bullard 5 star
VHIII 5 star
Jalen Tabor 5 star
Alex McCalister 4 star
Antonio Morrison 4 star
Keanu Neal 4 star
Brian Poole 4 star
Marcus Maye 4 star
Quincy Wilson 4 star
Nick Washington 4 star
Taven Bryan 4 star
Khairi Clark 4 star
Duke Dawson 4 star
There are also a few of three stars with Jarrad Davis being one of them. Despite his ranking he is one of the best players on an immensely talented D.
