Georgia 42, Florida 7: Dawgs stomp Gators — and stamp Jim McElwain’s tenure?

After one pair of drives in Jacksonville, the Georgia Bulldogs led the Florida Gators 7-0.

After one quarter, it was 21-0.

After one mostly miserable game, it was 42-7 — and that loss, the worst for Florida to Georgia in 35 years, may well be the last one for Jim McElwain as Florida’s head coach.

McElwain’s team looked wholly unready for the executional brilliance and skill that Georgia brought to bear in the first half, sputtering on offense and allowing the Bulldogs to run roughshod in a first quarter that had Georgia up by three scores before it was half over.
