Florida football is hungry for a win after a tough loss to LSU. Here are the three reasons they bounce back and knock off the Gamecocks.

Florida football is back after a tough first loss of the season at the hands of LSU. It was a back and forth affair that saw both offenses playing at a high level, but it was one turnover for the Gators that saw the Tigers be able to take home the victory.

It was one of the biggest games of the season, and Florida was able to have a lead after scoring to start the second half. From there, LSU’s offense took over, and Joe Burrow had a nearly flawless evening and out-dueled Kyle Trask in the end, winning 42-28.

The Gamecocks are coming off their own dramatic victory, knocking off third ranked Georgia Bulldogs in double overtime by a score of 20-17.

It was the defense for the Gamecocks that won the day, intercepting Jake Fromm  three times and returning one for a score, the defense had a perfect afternoon. Will Muschamp also gets another crack at his former team, having coached the Gators for four years, he’s 1-2 in his time at South Carolina against Florida.

In this game, I think the Gators bounce back in a big way. After the loss to the Tigers, it is now do or die time for Florida, and there is absolutely no margin for error in this one. They must win out, and the wins start here with a big victory in South Carolina. Here are the three reasons the Gators beat the Gamecocks.
