Florida vs. South Carolina, Tuesday Afternoon Post: The Gators shine in the rain

On a rainy day on the road, the Florida Gators came back from multiple deficits — including one in the fourth quarter — to win a divisional game.

And that it wasn’t a big deal is kind of a big deal.

Dan Mullen is 17-4 as Florida’s head coach. This alone is not that much of a thrill: Jim McElwain was 16-5 through 21 games, Will Muschamp was 14-7 (but would get to 18-7 through 25), and even Ron Zook was a decent-ish 13-8.
