GCF Discussion, Preview & Prediction Thread Week 11 Talking Florida Gators
Nov. 09, 2022
The Florida defense is struggling. On a roll, the Gamecocks have quietly been fantastic over the last six weeks going 5-1 over the last six with a fun finishing kick facing Tennessee and Clemson to close. Already bowl eligible, now the team gets to have some fun.
This is where Spencer Rattler has to rise and shine by pressing the deep shots over and over to stress test a secondary that’s allowing close to 13 yards per completion. He’ll get picked once or twice, but he has to keep pressing.
As much attention as Spencer Rattler and the passing game receive, and as bad as the Florida secondary has been, this is about the rushing attack. South Carolina is 5-0 when it runs for over 100 yards, 1-3 when it doesn’t, and Florida has allowed 134 or more rushing yards in every game but the loss to Kentucky.
The South Carolina defense will do a whole lot of bending without breaking, the pass defense will allow plenty of yards, and Richardson will have a nice day, but the offense will get grinding. Rattler won’t bomb away, but he’ll connect on a few good deep passes and the running game will take over just enough to keep the momentum rolling.
South Carolina 31, Florida 30
