Florida Gator fans would like to move on from today’s game as fast as possible.
Florida kicked off 2017 against the Michigan Wolverines, and the Gators struggled mightily on offense.
Florida lost to Michigan by a final score of 33-17, but that score is a little misleading. The Gators scored just three points on offense with the bulk of their scoring coming via two pick-sixes in the second quarter.
The Gators played two QBs, rushed for 11 yards, and allowed 433 on defense.
Here is a look at what head coach Jim McElwain had to say after the game:
“They physically took it to us. They beat us every which way you can. We never had an answer.” — Mac

Mac: 'We have to look at a lot of things. But it's not time to hit the panic button."

Mac asked why Toney and Massey didn't get the ball more… "There was some stuff we didn't get to."

“It’s disappointing, yet I can see where we’re at and I can see the pieces.” — Mac on offense

Mac says coming up empty after blocked punt was momentum swing that stands out.

“I thought we had a good plan obviously. As it turned out, the plan was pretty well foiled by getting whooped.” — Mac
