South Carolina

[Colin]

Gators just need to put on their hard hats and go to work, and they'll beat SC. We're better man-to-man at each position. We have experienced players with great chemistry. We have a smart coach. And we play defense like SC has not seen.

[Go2gtr]

We need to maintain the rebounding margin like we have in the past few games. If we do, game over.

I think they won 1 earlier this Century in the ODome, but most of their upsets have occurred at Columbia.

Perhaps the most aggravating thing about just about every South Carolina upset of the Gators is that they were similar to what happened at Arizona this year, albeit not as extreme.

Every game is 0-0 at the opening tip, so, each team has an equal chance of scoring.

I agree about probably not pressing too much. That is a real advantage of hyper quick guards.

looking forward to the game.

carolina is coming in w/ confidence w/ the big win over arkie and a near win at missouri - or at least they did play them tough.

going to be a challenge. have to stay after them on defense and on the boards. expect a tussle.

Yep SoCar at home was one of 3 UF SEC losses in 2011. That team went 13-3 and one of the losses was an early season meeting with SoCar.

Added in edit: Ellington is VERY quick.

We just need to jam Ellington at the line of scrimmage and not let him get behind the defense.

LOL
that works.
bracket coverage too, safety over works, maybe man underneath

Ended up pressing the heck out of them. Great game tonight.

Lol.... I see myself in the video!
