The Florida Gators hammered North Texas 32-0, but that wasn’t the story.
The story was QB Luke Del Rio going down with a knee injury in the second half. Del Rio left and did not return, and it doesn’t sound or look too good.
McElwain was visibly upset during the game, even approaching midfield screaming at the North Texas after the hit.
So, everyone was tuning into what McElwain said after the game:
