Five thoughts from the Florida Gators 13-6 win over Vanderbilt and where the team is heading now.
Gators are 8-0 when Jim McElwain has his starting quarterback
Two weeks ago, after the Gators lost to Tennessee, I noted that Jim McElwain was just 1-5 against ranked opponents. It was a stat from the game notes that Florida provides to the media and most fans weren’t happy that I pointed it out following the loss.
Many of you instead pointed out to me that McElwain is undefeated when he has his starting quarterback. Although McElwain never officially named Will Grier the starting quarterback he didn’t need to, the reps and playing time did that.
