No doubt the absence of Hargreaves will have an adverse effect on Florida’s secondary against an Air Raid, oft-passing offense. In the opener, Hargreaves recorded four tackles and an interception during the Gators’ 61-13 win over New Mexico State.
With starting safeties back, expect Brian Poole to slide back to nickelback, Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilson to man starting cornerback spots.
