Devin Moore: D (119 snaps)
At five receptions surrendered it could be worse. At 16.4 yards per reception surrendered it could also be better for Devin Moore.
He has just two tackles on the season, so he isn't providing much in run support, but he also has no pass breakups on the season.
Caleb Banks: D (124 snaps)
To have just six tackles off 63 rushing attempts against is pretty poor. Worse is that Caleb Banks also has three missed tackles for a missed tackle rate of 30%.
He does have a sack, but he hasn't been enough of a wrecking ball in the middle of the line.
Pup Howard: A (128 snaps)
We hyped up Pup Howard all offseason, and he has been one of the few bright spots on Florida's defense.
If he needs to fly out to the flat to make a tackle, he's got you. If he needs to come down in run support, he's got you too. With just one missed tackle on the season, he continues to be as advertised.
Sharif Denson: C- (138 snaps)
Taking over the STAR position, Sharif Denson has been picked on more than any other Florida defensive back, with 14 targets and nine receptions against.
We are willing to cut Denson a hint of slack because the scheme Ron Roberts is insisting upon isn't allowing Denson to fully showcase his talents.
