UF coach Jim McElwain stands on the sidelines during Florida's 31-24 win against East Carolina on Sept. 12, 2015, at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
And while no formal apology came from the first-year Florida coach about the incident that occurred during the Gators’ 31-24 win over East Carolina on Saturday night, McElwain did say it was something he and his team can learn from as the season progresses.
