Florida opens McElwain era with 61-13 rout of New Mexico St
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Will Grier accounted for three touchdowns, Treon Harris threw for two more and Florida opened the Jim McElwain era by overwhelming New Mexico State 61-13 Saturday night.
The victory extended Florida's winning streak in season openers to 26, which is now the longest in the nation after Nebraska's 29-year run ended with a loss to Brigham Young earlier in the day.
Grier and Harris were nearly perfect on the night, finishing a combined 29-of-36 passing for 379 yards and four touchdowns.
Grier completed 15 of 17 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns to C'yontai Lewis. The redshirt freshman also ran for a score.
Harris completed 14 of 19 passes for 215 yards and two scores. The sophomore played the first three series, completing all seven of his passes for 119 yards and a touchdown. Harris returned late in the third quarter and misfired on his second attempt.
