Gators, having secured SEC East, head to South Carolina

One game signaled the end of an era.

The next signals how much has changed.

On Saturday, No. 11 Florida (8-1, 6-1 Southeastern Conference) will face South Carolina (3-6, 1-6 SEC) a year removed from the last meeting between the two programs, a game that proved to be the last straw in former coach Will Muschamp’s UF tenure.

"It wasn’t a good memory," defensive lineman Bryan Cox Jr. said.

In that game, the Gators fell behind 10-0 early, scored 17 unanswered points, and then, as the student section prematurely jingled its keys, gave up the tying touchdown with 12 seconds remaining to send the game to overtime.
