Jim McElwains first impre sion at Florida is best-remembered for its last impre sions.In 2015, the Gators marched out to a 10-1 start before ending its season with lo ses to Florida State, Alabama and Michigan by a combined score of 97-24.MORE: | ForgetMcElwain beat SEC East rivals Tenne see and Georgia Paul Kariya Jersey , won SEC Coach of the Year honors and took the Gators back to the SEC East championship game in his first season.Remember those four lo ses were to four of college footballs most-dominant personalities in Les Miles, Jimbo Fisher, Nick Saban and Jim Harbaugh. Three of those four have national championships.Thats still the standard at Florida, however, one set by Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer. Thats what McElwain will be held toat Florida. He addre sed that 2015 finish Mondayat SEC Media Days.It was a lot of fun, and yet very disappointed in how we finished, McElwain said. Not something that were proud of and not something that I take very lightly. Yet at Jarome Iginla Jersey the same time, it was an opportunity for us to kind of learn.MORE: Its important to look at Florida with the right lighting. The Gators were 6-0 and outscored opponents 193-86 in their first six games before Will Grier was suspended. Afterward, they were 4-4 and outscored 170-131.In other words, the Gatorsaveraged 32.2 points per game before and 16.5 points per game afterward. Thats why finding the right quarterback among Luke Del Rio, Austin Appleby and freshman Feleipe Franks is the top priority at fall camp.You know Floridas defense is going to be nasty again. Itaveraged 14.3 ppgbefore the Grier suspension and 16.4 ppgafterward. Jalen Tabor, Jarrad Davis and Marcus Maye Rob Ramage Jersey are among the playmakers whowill keep this unit playing at a high level.Florida is at minimum in the same spot if not better than last season. It isundervalued as a result. Tenne see the presumptive SEC East favorite for 2016 and Georgia who welcomes first-year coach Kirby Smart are generating more headlines.MORE: McElwain spent a chunk of his time at the podium entangling that web, too. Is Georgia under Smart now Floridas biggest SEC rival? I gue s maybe youll have to check with Tenne see on that one, as far as biggest rival, McElwain quipped.What did he think of Florida States state-championship rings? Thats a hell of a deal, he joked.All of those rivalries are huge, and the game at Tenne see on Sept. 24 one which Florida has won 11 straight since 2004 will set the tone. Its as chippy as ever, especially with the players on social media.Yet if Monday was proof of anything, it was that McElwain and Florida are still in Sabans shadow more than anybody else in the SEC. McElwain fielded the most questions about Saban and what he learned at his time in Alabama. One, two, three questions. Thats all right, McElwain played it off.What did he learn? McElwain said before he left Alabama for Colorado State, Saban told him, Whatever you do, you gotta do it your way. You gotta be you. You cant be somebody else. Ben Smith Jersey Thats a piece Ive tried to take with me.MORE: McElwain took that to the one SEC power that has just as much clout heading into the conferences 25th year of the championship game era. Florida has 11 SEC championship appearances, one more than Alabama. Florida has seven SEC titles, one more than Alabama. Theyve met there eight times, including last year. Florida has the same high standards as Rene Bourque Jersey Alabama. McElwain had that reinforced from his first meeting against Saban in a 29-15 lo s in last years SEC championship game.I was excited to be able to play him, McElwain said. I know this: Id be excited to play him again, because I know its in Atlanta.McElwain will get a second chance to make an impre sion against those dominant personalities. If the Gators can show what theyve learned, then theyll be remembered for something more this time.Going into Year 2, McElwain said before stopping, shaking his head and affirming what you might not believe. You know what? Things are good at the University at Florida, and thats the way it should be.
