From the improbable comeback against Tennessee, to the drumming of then-No. They fall to 3-7 on the season, 1-7 in the SEC and 1-3 under interim head coach Shawn Elliott.

Offensive lineman Mason Zandi rolled his ankle late against Florida and is expected to miss the contest. “There’s something special about that because wins are hard to come by”, McElwain said. The defense will have to show up, that’s for sure.
“Sometimes your best defense is your offense”, McElwain said. I have a feeling the USC offense is going to be able to control the ball and shorten the game.
Florida was in a dogfight last week, escaping Vanderbilt with a 9-7 victory on a fourth-quarter field goal after trailing much of the game. Swinney has a tradition of celebrating in the locker room with players after Tiger victories. McElwain was being politic, of course, but that doesn’t mean everything isn’t still in front of Florida. Unfortunately, he has no other options. The Gators rode two methodical drives of 15 plays and 12 plays, respectively, to build a 14-0 lead. “Vanderbilt essentially sold out and was just double teaming the edge the entire game”.
But once you get past the teams that shared last year’s regular-season title, it’s tough to predict anything about this league.
Harris threw a 41-yard touchdown to freshman tailback Jordan Cronkrite on the next drive. Whether the Gators can complete the jump in 2015 with this offense is a more open question than ever after Saturday. The lone passing touchdown from Treon Harris was a play that should have at least been incomplete or, even better, intercepted by Gamecock defensive back Chris Lammons, a former Gator commit nearly two years ago as a high school prospect. They’ll need a few turnovers to make it happen. Now that teams have seen he wants to throw the ball to D-Rob on these short dig routes, they’ll take that away, too.
The Gators certainly didn’t rack up many style points with this one, but they’re OK with that. They lost a chunk of their playbook. “This year, after going through that, we learned how to win the game”.

They coach and play aggressively. He followed it with a one-yard dive for the touchdown and a 24-14 advantage for Florida with two minutes to play, sealing the win. It may be the defense’s turn to do the same Saturday. How Florida Won Taylor-made I do know I already devoted the lede of Sat.’s reviewed to it, still Kelvin Taylor really did win in that game for Florida. Harris had another interception on the Gators’ opening possession of the second half.
