Auburn faces Brad White's first-year Florida defense this week, but the coordinator's system is not entirely unfamiliar to Alex Golesh: he faced White's Kentucky defenses twice while coordinating Tennessee's offense.

Florida has allowed 24 points through two games and only 10 over the last 21 opponent possessions after two early FAU touchdown drives. The preview emphasizes that both opening opponents were overmatched, so those results are encouraging early defensive evidence rather than proof against Auburn's offense.

Sophomore Jeramiah McCloud has 12 tackles through two games and is highlighted as an early standout on Florida's defensive front. LJ McCray is reported healthy again, adding depth alongside experienced linemen Kamran James, Emmanuel Oyebadejo and Jamari Lyons; the article does not announce a new starting-line change.

Myles Graham leads Florida in tackles through two games, Jaden Robinson enters with 14 straight starts, and Aaron Chiles completes the listed linebacker group. Jayden Woods is identified as the leading edge-rush threat, with half a sack so far; the early sack sample remains small.

The preview's secondary listing puts Ben Hanks III and Cormani McClain at corner, Kanye Clark at STAR, and Bryce Thornton with DJ Coleman at safety. Thornton brings returning experience, while Clark and Hanks each have seven tackles through two games. Treat this as the preview's personnel listing, not a newly announced coach-verified lineup change.
