Florida will welcome a familiar face on Oct. 3 as Will Muschamp and the Gamecocks come to town. South Carolina had a forgettable 2019 season outside of one major win over Georgia on the road, spoiling their season.

Don’t expect a big road win here, though.

Ryan Hilinski may be the quarterback of the future with a solid arm and plenty of potential, but Muschamp may be all out of magic as his seat will warm up even more after this one.

Final Score: South Carolina 16, Florida 34 (5-0, 3-0)

For the fifth time in six games to start the season, Florida will be playing at home in Ben-Hill Griffin Stadium. The Swamp will be rowdy for this one as the defending national champs come to town. A year ago, LSU got the best of the Gators in Baton Rouge, but Florida will return the favor.

The Tigers don’t have Joe Burrow anymore and the offense may take a slight step back, especially with Joe Brady also gone.

Defensively, this will be quite the battle.

Final Score: LSU 17, Florida 21 (6-0, 4-0)
