Then again, UF's defense likes scoring, too. We're always forcing to do that. Last season, the Gators set a school record with six defensive scores, tying a NCAA record with four fumble returns for touchdowns. The attitude is not to stop opposing offenses, but to send them reeling backwards. And when they do, UF defenders aren't satisfied with simply roughing up the offense.
Every time there's a fumble or interception, there's thoughts of the end zone.
We feel invincible. We don't want them to drive, drive, drive and then stop them. UF's offense mounted few impressive drives in the two fall scrimmages. In fact, the Gators' defense made nearly as many big plays with long interception returns and nine sacks. Stoops admits this secondary may be the most fun to coach of any he has ever coached.
