That Florida game was more about Florida playing terribly than about ECU
Playing well.
"A week after totaling 61 points and 606 yards against overmatched New Mexico State, Florida looked far from polished in the Birmingham Bowl rematch.

The Gators managed 373 yards, converted 4 of 13 third-down attempts, committed 12 penalties for 105 yards, missed two field goals and had two turnovers.

McElwain called his players "entitled," adding that it was clear they weren't ready to play earlier in the week when about 30 players showed up for practice Monday without their ankles taped.

Two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties after second-half touchdowns really set him off. He ripped defensive lineman Joey Ivie and running back Kelvin Taylor on the sideline and was still hot well after the final whistle.

"Embarrassing. We didn't deserve to win that ball game," McElwain said. "Our lack of discipline and understanding of how you play the game crept up, and it was embarrassing. We've got a long ways to go. It starts with understanding selfish acts hurt the team and will be dealt with. And it's not how it's going to be around here anymore."
