Grantham’s aggressive scheme allows Florida Gators defense to play loose

Last year the Florida Gators defense went from having a good year to struggling down the stretch after a loss in Jacksonville to the Georgia Bulldogs.

A defense that had been thought of as one of the tops units in college football the last few years didn’t live up to the standard they had set for themselves according to defensive end CeCe Jefferson.

“It was a very tough time because that’s not the Gator standard,” Jefferson said of last year’s defense. “We, as a unit, we knew that we had more talent than most of those teams and we could have put on a better display than we did.
