The Florida Gators saw its best defensive performance of the season against Tennessee, but its offensive execution and overall outcome of the game overshadow its improvements.
Coming into last night's contest, Tennessee’s high-powered offense was averaging 519 yards a game, the fifth-best in the nation. Some notable performances from the Volunteer offense include racking up 740 yards and 71 points against Kent State, and 51 points and 460 yards against NC State.
“It was great for us to see the improvement week to week,” James said. “It starts in practice, going against the offense each and every day, they get us better. So, it's great to see the product.”Last night, James helped lead a Gator defense that held the nation's fifth-ranked rushing attack to just 41 yards at halftime. Florida forced two turnovers in the first half, the most that Tennessee has allowed all season.
“It’s the competitiveness in practice, the support staff that helps us get better each and every day, a bunch of hands-on learning,” said James.
