More importantly, Harris looked like he belonged on the field. Georgia isn’t all that bad in terms of turnover margin, but it’s only forced two turnovers or more in three games, and lost two of them. But McElwain has taken Muschamp’s leftovers – leftovers McElwain characterized as “really insufficient” – and turned them into a functioning team, which is something his predecessor never did.

Yet, here they are. Improving upon his previously impressive performance while also protecting the ball from the Georgia defense isn’t going to be easy, but it is going to be Florida’s path to victory. The way it’s supposed to be. It’s fun to see. There’s great teachable moments that come out of everything we do and not just from out on the football field. I don’t know if they’re afraid or anything.
No. 11 Florida (6-1, 4-1) could virtually clinch the SEC East with a win over Georgia (5-2, 3-2), so losing Callaway could be a big blow.
The down-the-road ramifications aren’t set in stone, but they’re pretty much in the cement mixer and ready to poured.
In fact, from 1915 to 1950, Georgia football owned the Gators, winning over 80% of the time.
What I’m getting at is though I’ve seen Mark Richt squander byes due to a lack of readiness on his team, there’s little to no pressure on the Georgia Bulldogs in this game. However, they did win 9-6 over the Missouri Tigers.
And that’s assuming the Bulldogs don’t slip up along the way.
Georgia quarterback Greyson Lambert passes against the South Carolina Gamecocks during the first half at Sanford Stadium earlier this season.
McElwain was the offensive coordinator at Montana State from 1995-1999, and his teams went 0-5 against Montana during that span. He said it still bothers him.
GAINESVILLE | With only one exception in his short college career, University of Florida sophomore quarterback Treon Harris hasn’t blinked when the bright lights are on – especially away from The Swamp.
Chubb’s replacement, Sony Michel, could be asked to provide that boost.
Jim McElwain is getting recognition on the recruiting trail. “But now we’ve got to do it”.
As in doing everything today, tomorrow, etc., to be prepared for the next game. “I think there isn’t a coach in America, doesn’t matter what they go into, you expect to be successful”.
“You know with them having a week off. I’m sure there were a few things they worked on just like we did”.
Harris threw the ball only six times that day (completing three for 27 yards) and ran six times for 37 yards.
The status of placekicker Austin Hardin (hamstring) remains uncertain. UF has not released next season’s schedule yet.
That trio was scheduled to be at practice Monday and continue their tryout – wearing pads and in live-action situations – this week. “Treon is obviously a very athletic guy and has made a lot of athletic plays on the move, throwing and running”.

UF coach Jim McElwain said Callaway is being evaluated and it’s too early to tell if he’ll be able to play Saturday. In the game. Despite that unbalanced attack, the outcome would have been even more lopsided if Georgia hadn’t put up 13 points in the fourth quarter to trim the final score to 38-20. And, oh, does McElwain talk about the details. “You’re going through all the playbooks back in (2009), (2010), (2011) and (2012)”. As long as we do that Saturday, we’ll put us in position to have a good outcome.
