Sure... Florida has 9 starting defensive players that are draft eligible and gone this year
Anzalone was injured for Iowa.
Jarrad Davis, too. (Both starting linebackers.)
Marcus Maye. (Starting Safety)
Nick Washington. (Starting Safety)
Jordan Sherit. (Starting Defensive End)
Bryan Cox Jr. (Starting Defensive End)
I mean, shite, it's only six starters on defense that we didn't have when we set an Outback Bowl record for least amount of yards and points ever scored in the Outback Bowl.
The least amount of points the entire season, in fact.
The least amount of yards, too.
So maybe, while having those players would have made a big difference, we can keep the production up.
McElwain also broke a defensive school record in least yards permitted (ever) for Florida.
Dogs, however, have to worry about FCS teams and barely sliding by teams like Kentucky and Missouri, Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech.
The saddest part is that McElwain has gone 10 - 4 with a team that had to fight to bowl and Kirby struggled to bowl with a team that went 10 - 3 the previous two years. Beating Kentucky, Nicholl's and Missouri by a combined 7 points total ought to be horrifying, might even make one worry about their own team for the upcoming season instead of herping all over another team's thread.

Are you really using the Outback Bowl (a de facto home game) as your metric that the defense is going to have no dropoff? All of this to a team that lost to North Dakota State? I mean... it's like you want to do my work for me. 
Continuing to presume that the 10-3 UGA teams of the previous 2 seasons have very much to do with the 2016 team is pretty asinine. Particularly when we've already outlined that improvement is expected or there will be something to be concerned about. Getting worked up over year one performance would be ridiculous, particularly with a freshman QB, a patchwork OL, and a first year HC. If you think we're not keeping a close eye on the situation, you're just not paying attention. Solid strawman though...
I mean, if anything in this thread could be considered herping, it would likely be the infighting of UF fans all over a coach that you seem to think is doing a great job, regardless of where people have pointed out that you have problems of your own. No one said UF is a shitstain that can't get corrected or anything, simply that you have a fundamental issue right now. You are losing highly rated talent at a much higher rate than you are replacing it. Again, it's certainly possible that Mac and his staff just have a keen eye for talent, but the current trend of lower rated players can't be one that most UF fans are happy about.
