When Christian Wilkins rumbled through a wide-open gap for a 1-yard touchdown against Florida State this past Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla., everyone across the country was talking about it. Not since William “The Refrigerator” Perry scored on a similar play in Super Bowl XX has a 300-pound defensive tackle received so much attention.
Second-ranked Clemson calls the play or set of plays, “The Fridge Package.” On Saturday, the Tigers lined up in a Power I-formation, with Wilkins positioned as the tailback and Dexter Lawrence as the fullback.
They ran it so well, Wilkins received no resistance at all from the Seminoles.
