Heavy Package – Florida’s answer to Alabama ground attack

Heavy Package – Florida’s answer to Alabama ground attack

The Florida Gators unveiled their Heavy Package on defense in Knoxville two weeks ago, a new scheme designed to cope with Tennessee’s power running game.
But it’s pretty obvious the Heavy Package was not conceived in the offseason with Tennessee and Tauren Poole in mind.
This was all about Alabama and Mark Ingram (and Trent Richardson).
The Florida coaches won’t come right out and say it, but the Heavy Package is Florida’s answer to Alabama, to what the Tide inflicted on the Gators in last December’s SEC Championship Game.
“I certainly gave thought to it,” UF coach Urban Meyer said.
