JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—The rooms, built for various Jacksonville Jaguars to meet on NFL game days, stand about 50 feet apart. In each room, a man stood Saturday in front of a backdrop that matched his clothing. In each, cameras focused their unblinking eyes on the man in front of the backdrop. In one room, the man in front of the backdrop had a good answer to every question. In the other, the man in front of the backdrop seemed to have no answers at all.
"I don't expect to lose, and I think we should never come into an event thinking we are going to come in second," Florida coach Jim McElwain said after his team's 27–3 win over Georgia all but wrapped up the SEC East title.
