“It’s ok to be great.”
The aforementioned quote, made by Jim McElwain, was a comment on the mindset of the developing offense over the offseason, but it applied to all aspects of the Gators’ play in Saturday night’s massive 38-10 win over Ole Miss.
With a beast of a man in Robert Nkemdiche bearing down on him, Will Grier calmly delivered a perfect 36-yard strike to Demarcus Robinson to give the Gators their first seven points against the third-ranked team in the country. The first of many scores for the Gators on an incredible night in the Swamp, it would take Ole Miss late into the fourth quarter to finally eclipse that point total thanks to a stifling defensive performance.
