The Florida Gators had a forgettable game against Arkansas Saturday.
The Gators were pounded 31-10 in Fayetteville, and little went right for Jim McElwain’s club. The offense finished with just 12 yards rushing, and quarterback Luke Del Rio finished with two INTs and completed just over 51 percent of his passes.
McElwain started off his post-game presser by apologizing to Florida fans who made the trip:
Jim McElwain apologizes to the people who made the trip down for "having to sit through that."

Mac said this was a game that during the summer you looked at wondered what would happen. Definite trap game.

'I thought they had some good angle block schemes on our guys,' Mac said of Arkansas. Took away inside guys.

Mac says Davis, Anzalone, Dillard and Thompson "probably going to be out." Seems like their injuries are serious.

Mac said Kyle Trask and Feliepe Franks are still options at QB.
