This may seem difficult for some Gator newbies to grasp because of the carnage they have had to witness over the last few years, but Florida used to be really good at defense.
I know that there are no defensive statues out in front of the stadium, but defenders make up a third of the Ring of Honor, so they have that going for them… which is nice.
Of course, some older Gators will tell you there was a time when Florida only played defense.
But I digress.
This Dooley’s Dozen brings you the 12 best defenses at Florida and I am limiting it to the modern era. As you may know, that begins when I saw my first game in 1962.
I have a lot of respect for that 1928 team that allowed only 44 points all season, but this list includes only teams that played with facemasks.
