1. South Carolina’s 28-20 win against Florida secured second place in the SEC East and the team’s best record since 2013. The Gamecocks finished with five or more conference wins for the eighth time in program history. USC went ahead early and maintained the lead, keeping the Gators just at arm’s length.
2. Quarterback Jake Bentley had perhaps his most uneven career performance. He threw three interceptions, each one ugly, one that almost became a pick-six. He did throw for 249 yards, one of his better outputs of the season, while completing more than 65 percent of his passes.
