Jim McElwain: ‘That was embarrassing. Didn’t deserve to win the ball game.’

It wasn’t pretty, but Jim McElwain and Co. moved to 2-0 with a 31-24 win over East Carolina.

There were plenty of mistakes in the ball game. Florida had 12 penalties and turned the ball over twice. During the game, McElwain showed his frustration and went crazy toward running back Kelvin Taylor after an unsportsmanlike penalty.

That kind of play won’t win the Gators many ball games moving forward, and McElwain was visibly upset over the poor performance.

Here’s what McElwain had to say after the game:

“The was embarrassing. Didn’t deserve to win the ballgame.’’ — McElwain

— Scott Carter (@GatorsScott) September 13, 2015

Mac upset on lack of discipline, penalties inside red zone. “It will be dealt with and it’s not how it’s going to be around here anymore."

— Scott Carter (@GatorsScott) September 13, 2015

McElwain: "It was embarrassing to our administration, our university."

— Landon Watnick (@LandonWatnick) September 13, 2015

McElwain — "It starts by understanding that selfish acts aren't going to be tolerated anymore, and it will be dealt with" #Gators

— Kevin Brockway (@gatorhoops) September 13, 2015

McElwain on #Gators being most penalized team in SEC the last 10 years: "That's not going to happen anymore."

— Zach Abolverdi (@ZachAbolverdi) September 13, 2015

"We had trouble all day. … It was horrible. It was inexcusable. … It was all over the field." — McElwain going off in presser #Gators

— Only Gators .com (@onlygators) September 13, 2015

“It was horrible. It’s not OK to act that way. It’s not OK to call attention to yourself when the selfish act hurts your whole team.” — Mac

— Scott Carter (@GatorsScott) September 13, 2015

“We won the game, but that’s not acceptable. You guys should be embarrassed having to write about it."

— Scott Carter (@GatorsScott) September 13, 2015

McElwain: "It started Monday. 30-plus guys didn't have their ankles taped for the team meeting"

— Landon Watnick (@LandonWatnick) September 13, 2015

"It's a bunch of entitlement. Entitlement for what? Start investing." – McElwain

— Landon Watnick (@LandonWatnick) September 13, 2015

Hargreaves tweaked "leg" on Thursday, wanted to go through it but felt during warmups he couldn't.

— Landon Watnick (@LandonWatnick) September 13, 2015

McElwain on Demarcus Robinson: "He did what he's supposed to do. He did his job." #Gators

— Jordan McPherson (@J_McPherson1126) September 13, 2015

McElwain on QBs' play: "Very average."

— Landon Watnick (@LandonWatnick) September 13, 2015

McElwain said Florida will bury this game, rip off the rear view mirror and start fresh for a Kentucky team feeling pretty good abt itself.
