After watching a unit that seemed to play too passively at times last year, Gator fans are hungry to see an attacking defense once again. They certainly will get it with new defensive coordinator Todd Grantham.
One of the most striking things about Grantham’s style is that he is more aggressive with his play calls than even some of the better defensive coordinators UF has had in the recent past. No one would accuse Charlie Strong or Geoff Collins of having docile defenses, but Grantham is known for blitzing in a way those two aren’t.
The thing about blitzes is that they represent a risk/reward situation.
