Florida Gators vs South Carolina Gamecocks 11/12 4pm SECN

South Carolina (6-3, 3-3 SEC) at Florida (5-4, 2-4), Saturday, 4 p.m. EST (SEC Network)

: Florida by 8 1/2

Series record: Florida leads 29-10-3

WHAT'S AT STAKE?

The Gators would become bowl eligible with a victory. First-year Florida coach Billy Napier has been quick to downplay the achievement, saying "we've got bigger aspirations than that." Florida also would like to avenge last year's 40-17 debacle in Columbia, a stunning upset that sped up the process of firing coach Dan Mullen.

KEY MATCHUP

Gamecocks QB Spencer Rattler vs Florida's defense. The Gators haven't forgotten about the last time they faced Rattler, who torched them in the Cotton Bowl to end the 2020 season. Rattler threw for three TDs and ran for another in Oklahoma's 55-20 drubbing.

"It's pretty nice to get another shot," Florida linebacker Amari Burney said. "We owe him one."

PLAYERS TO WATCH

South Carolina: RB MarShawn Lloyd (deep thigh bruise) didn't travel to Vanderbilt last week and has been limited in practice since. He's a key cog for the Gamecocks, ranking 10th in the SEC in rushing (556 yards) and third with nine in rushing TDs.
