The South Carolina Gamecocks were bullied and outclassed by the Florida Gators in a deflating, dispiriting wire-to-wire 38-6 loss in Gainesville, Fla., on Saturday, failing to get any traction on the line of scrimmage and producing just a couple special teams highlights on an otherwise miserable day.
The game got off to a bad start virtually immediately for the Gamecocks, as the Gators powered down the field on the strength of their rushing attack and cashed in with a 3-yard Anthony Richardson touchdown run in a 14-play, 75-yard statement drive that took about 5 and a half minutes off the clock.
