Being back alone on top of the SEC East standings apparently agrees with the Florida Gators.
“The energy yesterday was great,” UF coach Jim McElwain said Wednesday. “The guys were excited about getting back, feeling where we’re at. We’re obviously not where we want to be (offensively), but at the same time, based on that half that we played in that one game, we’re in a great spot and our guys are excited about it.
“Their energy has been awesome. Just around the building, it’s been good.”
Only a few weeks after their championship hopes took a significant hit in the loss at Tennessee, the Gators are back in first in the East and in control of their destiny in the division race.
