COLUMBIA, S.C. — They say an alligator moves faster in water than it does on land.
After Saturday, maybe the same can be said about this Florida Gators team.
As the rain began to fall in Columbia, South Carolina, No. 9 UF used 21 unanswered fourth quarter points to turn a three-point deficit into an 18-point lead in an eventual 38-27 win over the Gamecocks.
“Sloppy first half for us with execution,” coach Dan Mullen said. “Fourth quarter, I think we were able to flip that. We were able to create a turnover, create some positive drives, finish drives in the red zone.
