What can Florida’s struggling defense do to contain Kentucky?

Florida Gators football’s defense has been suspect all season especially against lowly Vandy. Here are three ways UF needs to bounce back.

We’re seven games into the season, and it’s already incredibly clear which facet of the game is Florida’s Achilles’ Heel. Despite the play of quarterback Kyle Trask, who would be on pace to have a better season than Joe Burrow’s 2019 campaign if this was a full schedule, the Gators have a loss and many of their games have been closer than fans would hope.

Last week, UF allowed a number of big plays from a true freshman quarterback in Ken Seals, and it needs to tighten up its defensive play tremendously in these final weeks of the regular season if it’s going to compete with Alabama, who it will most likely face in the SEC Championship.

The Gators draw Kentucky this week, and the Wildcats’ offense is far from one of the league’s best. If Florida is going to improve on its biggest weakness this week, here are three things it needs to do.
