The young Florida Gators successfully negotiated their first SEC road challenge in Lexington, Ky., last Saturday, not only winning the game, but also handling themselves well on the trip and sticking together through a tough 60 minutes on the field, UF coach Jim McElwain said.
“SEC wins are hard to come by on the road, and to get one on our side of the conference is really big,” McElwain said. “Probably a couple things that really stood out is how our guys traveled. From a business trip standpoint, I thought they handled it well, handled the environment well and I thought they really enjoyed the environment.
