Jim McElwain wants Florida Gators to appreciate SEC championship game

LOREN ELLIOTT | Times

ATLANTA - For the first time since 2009, Florida is here to play for the SEC championship. And first-year Gators coach Jim McElwain is trying to make sure his team appreciates it.

"I guess you kind of took it for granted for a while," McElwain said Friday afternoon in a news conference at the Georgia Dome.

A few quick notes from the media availability for McElwain and Alabama coach Nick Saban in advance of tomorrow's game:

* Gators WR Demarcus Robinson will play some Saturday. Robinson, the team's leading receiver, was suspended for the Florida State game and was reinstated by the seniors earlier this week.
