While Rice has experience in his position as the WILL linebacker, the Bulldogs have a youth movement at the SAM linebacker position.

Redshirt freshman Azeez Ojulari is someone the Gators may be able to pick on a little bit in the passing game.

While he does have 20 tackles on the season and 3.5 sacks, he’s still young and may not fully understand the game situation Saturday.

The biggest issue with the Georgia defense is they struggle guarding against the pass. The Bulldogs have given up 1,267 yards in the air this season — which is right up the Florida football alley.

Part of that is because opposing offensive lines can pick up possible blitzes from players like Ojulari because they show their hand early. Additionally, if Ojulari flexes away from the defensive end position and more to the linebacker, the Gators could take advantage of his youth and his lack of quickness off the ball to exploit in the passing game.

But, Ojulari is a concern because he has a team-high 24 quarterback pressures, and if the Florida football offensive line doesn’t pick it up, it could lead to trouble for Trask.
