When considering the University of Florida’s football rivals, it will take you a while to get to the South Carolina Gamecocks – if you ever do. Florida and South Carolina have met 38 times on the gridiron dating all the way back to their first meeting in 1911. Florida holds a commanding 26-9-3 advantage in the series.
Florida and South Carolina have played every year since the Gamecocks joined the SEC prior to the 1992 season. In those 26 meetings, South Carolina has won just six times.
When Steve Spurrier took over the South Carolina job from 2005-2015, the series added intrigue, but that quickly faded after Florida won four of the first five meetings.
