GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida coach Jim McElwain insists he has no problem with anything star cornerback Jalen Tabor says off the field, even if its a little controversial.What Tabor does on the field is a different story.McElwain suspended Tabor and tight end Cyontai Lewis on Wednesday for fighting in practice. McElwain said neither will play in the teams Sept. 3 opener against UMass.McElwain did not disclose the reason for the penalties, but Tabor posted on his Twitter page that Scuffles happen in football all the time, just didnt kno you could get suspended for it lol. Tabor also said he accepts his punishment and that God has a way of humbling us all.Both Cyontai and Jalen will not be involved with the team or practice due to behavior that is not acceptable, McElwain said in a statement. By no means are these bad guys and yet consequences have been handed down. We will not look the other way when it comes to breaking of team policies. I want to echo what I said earlier: these are both fine young men who will learn and be stronger from their actions.They will also be suspended for the first game. There are life lessons in everything we do. We will be better because of it and no one person is bigger than the Florida Gators.Tabor was suspended one game last season for violating University Athletic Association policy. He openly criticized the UAA on Twitter for its decision and later apologized.Im me, Tabor said at Floridas media day earlier this month. Im going to be honest. What you see is what you get. Sometimes (it gets me in trouble). If you aint being you ... if you aint living for nothing, youll die for anything. Thats how I see it.Tabor raised eyebrows again last week when he predicted on national television that the Gators would beat Tennessee for the 11th consecutive time next month.I love the guy, McElwain said the following day. Hes a guy who cares. Hes a guy who has really invested in himself. I think hes grown up immensely as far as how hes going about his business.McElwain said he didnt see Tabors interview with ESPNs Paul Finebaum. When told what Tabor said, McElwain defended his player even further.I like the aggressive attitude, McElwain said. In fact, I wish our whole team in some spots had that same self-confidence because of their work. And hes put in the work. ... It will make for a good read, it will give you guys something to write about. At the end of the day, thats so far down the road, well jump that when we get there.Im not into censorship, OK? At the same time, Im not into giving guys bulletin-board material, but you can take that statement however you choose to take it. Im sure theyll put it up and blast it all over the world. Way to go.
