COLUMBIA, SC — 10 takeaways from the Florida Gators 38-27 win over South Carolina.
1. Find a way to win
It wasn’t pretty, the weather or the game but the Gators, for the seventh time in eight tries found a way to win. Whether you buy into the coaching slogans or not it appears that the “hold the rope” mantra and the “don’t flinch” mottos are more than just words to the players in Florida’s football building. That’s what matters. South Carolina came out and punched the Gators in the mouth several times on Saturday. Florida wasn’t playing the brand of football they believe that can or should but they remained resilient.
