Georgia RB Elijah Holyfield is one of the most powerful runners in college football, and he’s made a few defenders look silly already.
However, Florida’s linebackers have seen the highlights, and they’re eager for the challenge of meeting him on Saturday in Jacksonville.
As you can see in the video below, Florida LB Rayshad Jackson said the Gators plan on trucking Holyfield just like he trucks other linebackers:
"Holyfield, he likes to truck people…we're all capable of trucking him back."
Florida LB Rayshad Jackson isn't backing down from @EH_taught_me. We'll see how that goes…

“We’re all linebackers,” Jackson says. “We’re all capable of trucking him back.”

Florida’s defense vs. Georgia’s rushing attack will be a huge key to Saturday’s game, and the winner of that battle may end up winning.
