3rd and Grantham: Social media reacts to Florida's struggling 1st half defense vs. Ole Miss
Lane Kiffin is back in the SEC, and his offense is running some circles around Florida’s talented defense.
Remember, Kiffin didn’t even get spring football practice with his team, and his offense is gashing Florida’s defense, led by Todd Grantham, in the first half.
Florida’s 3rd down defense has struggled against the Rebels offense, led by quarterback Matt Corral. Corral is 7-of-11 for 125 yards and 2 touchdowns so far, including 18 rushing yards on scrambles.
The Gators offense, led by quarterback Kyle Trask, has looked good early, but the defense appears to be the biggest weakness and one big enough to keep UF out of Atlanta. The tackling has struggled, and the secondary has some holes.
Florida leads Ole Miss near halftime 28-14.
Fans are reacting to Florida’s struggling defense early.

Matt Corral is dealing. Ole Miss chewing up Florida’s D. The sideline props are inspired. Tied in Oxford at 14.

#Gators defense just getting gashed. Rebels strike on a 14-yard touchdown pass, Drummond again.
Tied up at 14, 12:04 left in the half.
