Following the Gators lackluster 31-24 win over East Carolina, a visibly frustrated Jim McElwain proceeded to rip his team during his postgame press conference.
After committing just one penalty during Week 1 against New Mexico State, things were much sloppier Saturday. The Gators committed 12 penalties for 105 yards, and his team committed two turnovers.
McElwain had some strong thoughts on his team’s play after the game:
