What Jim McElwain said after Florida lost to Texas A&M

It hasn’t been pretty for Florida of late.

The Gators have dropped two straight at home, with the latest coming Saturday night against Texas A&M. Florida is heading into the bye week sitting at 3-3 and looking ahead to undefeated Georgia.

The lack of development at QB is obvious, but the defense has some real deficiencies, too.

Here’s what Jim McElwain said after the game:
