Florida Gators: Week 1 Recap

The Jim McElwain era officially began Saturday night in the Swamp in front of a sellout crowd of 90,227 — and it didn’t disappoint.

Removed from Gainesville was playmaking ability and offensive fireworks for the better half of a decade now, so finally seeing somewhat of a resurgence on that side of the ball was satisfying to say the least.

But does this seemingly-rekindled offense make Florida a true national power again, or is New Mexico State just as dormant as it’s been in recent history?

Whatever the case, McElwain has certainly restored excitement in the Gator Nation — for now.
