Columbia, S.C. - The South Carolina Gamecocks Football team returns to Williams-Brice Stadium after a bye-week break to host the Florida Gators in a prime-time battle. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (EST), and will be broadcast by the SEC Network.
The Gamecocks (4-4, 1-4) are looking for answers coming off of a tough 44-14 road loss at the hands of Texas A&M. The Gators (4-4, 2-4) lost 34-7 in Jacksonville last Saturday to Georgia.
SEC Network has the television broadcast with Taylor Zarzour and Matt Stinchcomb in the booth and Alyssa Lang on the sidelines. Todd Elis and Tommy Suggs handle the call for the Gamecock Radio Network with Jamar Nesbit on the sidelines.
CAROLINA VS. FLORIDA: This is the 42nd meeting in a series that dates back to 1911. The Gators lead the all-time series, 29-9-3, including a 12-7-1 lead when playing in Columbia and a 16-2 advantage in Gainesville. The teams have also met three times at a neutral site with Florida winning once and the other two games ending in a tie. The Gamecocks have won five of the last 11 contests between the two squads after losing 18 of the previous 19 meetings.
JUST GETTING WARMED UP: The Gamecocks have won five of the last 11 gridiron battles with the Gators after winning just four of the first 30 meetings between the two schools.
THE LAST TIME THEY MET: South Carolina ventured into the Swamp on Oct. 3, 2020 and dropped a 38-24 decision to the No. 3/3 Florida Gators. Statistically, the game was closer than the final score indicates, as the Gators gained just 19 more total yards (348-329), while the Gamecocks had more first downs (25-18) and ran 30 more plays (83-53) while controlling the clock for 36:23. Sophomore running back Kevin Harris reached the 100-yard rushing mark on 22 carries in the contest.
THE LAST TIME IN COLUMBIA: Kyle Trask threw for a career-high four touchdowns as No. 9/9 Florida rallied past the Gamecocks, 38-27, on Oct. 19, 2019 in Columbia. Carolina held a 20-17 lead going into the final period, but surrendered 21-consecutive points on three touchdowns passes by Trask in the fourth quarter. The Gator quarterback completed 21-of-33 passes on the day for 200 yards with an interception. Tavien Feaster had his best game as a Gamecock, rushing 25 times for 175 yards. Ryan Hilinski was 17-of-35 for 170 yards in the loss.
THE LAST CAROLINA WIN: Jake Bentley shook off three interceptions to throw for 249 yards and scored a pair of rushing touchdowns as the Gamecocks posted a 28-20 win over the Gators and interim head coach Randy Shannon on Nov. 11, 2017 in Columbia. A.J. Turner ran 22 times for 136 yards and Mon Denson rushed for the first two touchdowns of his career, as Carolina had its best offensive game of the season with 469 total yards.
