Gators Defense Struggles in Win | Florida Gators Football News

Florida’s Gators cruised to a 66-21 win over FAU, but don’t be fooled—the defense was downright awful, surrendering nearly 400 yards and giving up big plays on third down. Quarterback Caden Veltkamp, respected by coach Jon Sumrall, led FAU with 276 yards and a TD despite two picks. Sumrall called the performance “atrocious” and warned the team isn’t as good as it looks. Linebacker Myles Graham blamed a lack of urgency on defense for the mess. Bright spots? DJ Coleman and Dijon Johnson each snagged interceptions—but those were rare gems in an otherwise shaky showing. Up next: Campbell (FCS), then Auburn—where Sumrall says failure to fix this defense will lead to humiliation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
