D.J. Coleman evaluates Florida defense after season-opening win

Florida safety D.J. Coleman addressed the media Monday to evaluate the team's defensive performance following a 66-21 victory over Florida Atlantic. Coleman, who recorded an interception during the game, described the unit's secondary performance as underwhelming despite the lopsided score. He noted that the team intends to fine-tune defensive communications and scheme execution during practice this week. The Gators now shift their preparation toward a Week 2 matchup against Campbell. Coleman also highlighted the development of teammates Brendan Bett and DK Kalu, emphasizing the impact of the coaching staff's defensive scheme on player confidence. The team continues to prioritize a goal of forcing three turnovers per game throughout the season.
