Brad White wants Florida defense to take next step vs. Georgia
Brad White discussed Florida’s defensive growth at Texas and the challenge of slowing Georgia ahead of the rivalry game.
Florida defensive coordinator Brad White expressed pride in his team's performance against Texas, but acknowledged there were areas for improvement. The Gators struggled to start, allowing scores on Texas' first two possessions, before becoming more aggressive and defensive as the game progressed. White praised the unit's development, stating that they need to build on their successes.
The Gators will face a new challenge when they take on Georgia, a team known for its physical running game, heavy personnel packages and quarterback Gunner Stockton. White believes Stockton to be a tough, resilient player with exceptional abilities on both sides of the ball. The coordinator praised Stockton's toughness and ability to make plays with both his arm and legs, highlighting his impact in game-changing situations.
White also spoke highly of young defender Ty Jackson, noting his growing role and impressive plays that have contributed to the team's success. Stockton's presence on the offensive line and the talent surrounding him, particularly in the running back group, pose significant challenges for Florida's defense.
