After first scrimmage, for #Gators Jim McElwain says dropped balls is a “never ending issue”

McElwain says no surgery needed for CJ Worton and Travaris Dorsey, says it wn’t be long term injury.

McElwain said Hargreaves is the punt return and Brandon Powell will return kickoffs.

McElwain on Kelvin Taylor’s good day: “For the first time since we’ve been here, he didn’t try to run everything to the sideline.”
