    Todd Golden is someone who has always shown immense pride on the defensive end whether that be back in his days as a player, an assistant coach, and most notably–as a head coach. For that reason, Florida’s effort on that side of the floor last year was a constant source of frustration, even when the Gators were winning games due to their turbocharged point production.

    Having depth at every position helps. Obviously we don't have to go zone to protect somebody in foul trouble. We have quality depth everywhere so it isn't a huge concern.

    But from a coaching POV having depth means that he can sit somebody that isn't giving it their all at the defensive end. Nobody gets to take a possession off. The pine is a very good instructor.
