Florida Gators

Florida Gators 20 – South Carolina 7

This one felt good for Florida. Yes it was an SEC football win, as well as a division win. And yes, Florida was expected to beat South Carolina — as is the case most years. This year was different, though.

Florida was reeling. South Carolina had the momentum.

There’s also the whole ‘Muschamp used to be the coach’ thing. Florida prevailed, though, and moved one step closer to the SEC Football Championship Game.

Impact Moving Forward

-Big Boost

Honestly, this was one of those games where the favorite had a ton to lose and little to gain on paper. That wasn’t the case in reality, though. As many players faced the coach that recruited them, there was plenty to gain.

Florida’s victory gives them some much-needed momentum headed into their final two games of LSU and Florida State. The Gators may limp into the SEC Football Championship, but they’ve done all they can do in the SEC East.
