The South Carolina football team lost 38-24 against a top five opponent on Saturday.
The Gamecocks lost by two touchdowns in the Swamp to the third-ranked Florida Gators on Saturday, 38-24. South Carolina’s offense again came out strong, scoring on its opening drive, but the defense had a hard time covering Florida’s talented pass catchers, as the Gators would score 38 of the game’s next 45 points.
Still, the Gamecocks never caved, and had a chance to pull within a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
