What Jim McElwain said after Florida was dominated by Arkansas
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 he considered pulling Luke Del Rio. 'Just didn't do it. But it crossed our minds.'

Asked about making change at QB, Mac said 'there's a lot of position we have to evaluate moving forward.'

'The East is a long way away,' Mac said.

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

'It's pretty big,' Mac said of the gap between the SEC East and West.

'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.

Yeah whoever is going to play next year needs to start taking snaps now. Our defense has pretty much lost hope in our offense just like last year. The O-line needs someone else to get behind.
Angle block schemes and four nets should do the trick.
Geaux Tigers!!
SC may beat them first.
We will see about that!
I’m all for the Vols going to Atlanta for another ass kicking. If you can beat UK that is.
Not even good enough to be on the same field with Bama. Florida doesn’t deserve to go to Atlanta. They would get even more embarrassed in Atlanta than they are today.
Trap game? A trap game is when a team that is actually better than the other team has to be careful. Florida has never looked better than Arkansas this season. I did think this game would be much closer, though.
Did you watch Arkansas lose to Auburn 56-3 last week? Arkansas is always a trap game. Beleima almost always has Arkansas ready to play but Arkansas usually comes up short. That’s why everyone goes into Arkansas games expecting to win.
Of course I watched the game two weeks ago. But saying Arkansas was a “trap game” for Florida means that Florida has been a better team than Arkansas this season, and they haven’t. And basing “trap game” status off the previous week would make Florida a “trap game” for South Carolina.
He said, the media said we were better than almost everyone, especially Ark., there must be some mistake?
Same ole florida, offense plays like ass and defense gets tired then gassed.
“Definite trap game”??? Yea, maybe for Arkansas!!! Florida was completely overrated and it was proven today.
Arkansas has got a mean ass defense wasn’t no trap for Florida they got beat by a better football team.nice win razorbacks.
I really wouldn’t say Arkansas has a mean ass defense. Florida just made them look good because our offense horrible. We did get beat by a better football team. Good win Razorbacks.
Our D is good…. It’s the HUNH that F’s us. The Problem is, we Can’t call plays fast enough/line up. We’ll bring in the cards on D next year, and be better, or fire Rob. IMO
So on the same hand the Gators #2 mean ass defense sucked because ?
