The South Carolina Gamecocks came off their bye week in emphatic fashion, dominating and handling the Florida Gators 40-17 in their second SEC win of the season on Saturday night in Columbia.
The Gamecocks got off to a good start, as they forced Florida to punt on the Gators' first possession and then went up 3-0 on a 39-yard Parker White field goal thanks to a productive drive led by Jason Brown, Josh Vann, and Kevin Harris. Florida quickly struck back, however, converting a key third down en route to a 12-yard Xzavier Henderson receiving score that put the Gators up 7-3.
