Last week’s loss to Missouri wasn’t the homecoming the Gators hoped for.
And No. 15 Florida will try to avoid the same unfavorable fate that has claimed its past two weeks of competition when it hosts South Carolina at noon on Saturday.
The Gamecocks are a middle-of-the-pack team that has been virtually out of the hunt for the SEC East title since September, going 1-2 in conference play during that month. But bowl-hopeful South Carolina still has plenty to play for when head coach Will Muschamp returns to the Swamp hoping to hand his former team its third straight loss.
