It has been a long, hard fall for Florida since the Urban Meyer days. Will Muschamp stepped down after going 28-21 in four seasons as coach and Jim McElwain was brought in from Colorado State. His first game is Sept. 5 against New Mexico State. The Gators have not played an out-of-state nonconference game since losing to Syracuse, 38-21, on Sept. 21, 1991.
