In the Gators' 14-6 shocker on Saturday, Florida coach Will Muschamp knew he had to do to LSU what the Tigers did to everyone else: Pound the ball and control the clock.
But it was more than that to the Gator players.
"We wanted to hurt them," Florida defensive end Dominique Easley said. "We wanted them to feel the pain that we felt last year. We had hurt in our heart, so we wanted them to feel that same thing."
"They beat us down last year," Elam said. "We had to come back. We had something to prove. We had a plan to hit them in their mouth, and we executed."
Mike Gillislee ran rampant on the Tigers, finishing with a career-high 146 yards.
"I'll take Gilly over anybody," Muschamp said. "I tell him that all the time and I mean that. I felt that way in spring and going into fall camp. ... He's a Will Muschamp guy. He don't ever say anything, he just does his job, lines up, runs the ball. If you ask him to block, he's going to block. If you ask him to catch the ball, he's going to catch the ball. He just is a really, really, really good football player."
