His big season last year had a whole bunch to do with the east being absolute garbage. He beat Ole Miss and a bunch of shit before he got to FSU, Bama, and Michigan, who beat him by an average score of 33-8.
I'm not defending him but if he hadn't lost his QB he might have lost those games but he wouldn't have gotten spanked.
Then got benched for Gaulden, didn't play much at all against VT and was suspended for Ohio. He played outside some yesterday
Gators starting D is all junior/seniors. Few juniors probably leave early. That D will take a big step back IMO.
