Florida defensive coordinator Todd Grantham is a major reason why the Gators are sitting at 6-1 with an outside chance at the College Football Playoff. A win against Georgia this weekend is a must, and Grantham could bring the kryptonite to Athens.
His philosophy is aggressive and somewhat simple: Bring more people than the offense can block on passing downs. What's not simple is the design, complexity and nuances regarding who and where the extra defenders are coming from. The Gators' personnel have bought in and as a result are winning games with an opportunistic defense.
