QB Will Grier to start for Florida Gators against East Carolina

“It can’t happen”, he said. “We had one late (throw) over the middle that’s gonna get intercepted”. That’s unacceptable. Those are things that kill you, is the unacceptable behavior, when you know better.

“And that is what I am getting at. It’s not OK. No, it’s not OK”. “He just has something that when he cares about something, he’s incredibly intense”.

Grier will become Florida’s ninth different starting quarterback since Tim Tebow last played in 2009.

Grier, a native of North Carolina, also scored one touchdown from 4 yards out and broke off a 38-run run.

Since arriving to Gainesville in December, McElwain has preached discipline and efficiency.

After beating New Mexico State 61-13 the Gators felt there was room for improvement and that can be bad news for East Carolina.

Harris started the opener and played the first three series.

Not so fast, McElwain said.

Injury update: McElwain said Wednesday that highly touted freshman left tackle Martez Ivey “is probably still a week away, however he’s done great and should be back ready to go”. And then, likely as he did every day, he said a prayer to his grandmother.

Harris and Grier didn’t want many second possibilities final weekend towards the overmatched Aggies.

UF freshman operating again Jordan Scarlett provides a carry to good pal Sam Bruce, a senior at Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, following the Gators opening win over New Mexico State. “Which guy is going to trot out there first, we’re going to visit that in tonight’s meeting”, McElwain said. “Both guys moved the team”.

It sounds similar to the way McElwain is handling things at Florida.

McElwain stated he is seen higher and hopes to see noticeable enchancment Saturday night time within the Swamp. They finally got the quarterback situation playing out now. “They just go out there and have fun, and they have confidence in both of themselves”.

McElwain, who shot up the coaching ranks as an offensive coach, is known for his ability to draw up plays and manipulate defenses. They’ve got to get a better. “I think he’s very good at recognizing what he has and how he’s going to exploit the other team”. “Montana people have a little cockiness to them”. “I mean, right? That’s the case in everything that you do”.
