COLUMBIA, SC — It wasn’t pretty, the weather or the game, but the Florida Gators continued doing what Dan Mullen preaches on a daily basis. They found a way to win.
The No. 9 Gators traveled to Columbia reeling after its first loss of the season. Tropical storm Nestor blanketed the gulf coast and into South Carolina forcing the Gators and Gamecocks to play in weather even ducks would have thought was too wet. It took its toll on Florida early.
South Carolina drove the ball 75-yards for a touchdown on the very first drive of the game and the Gators’ offense responded with three incomplete passes and confusion.
