After two weeks that gave Florida fans hope as to the capabilities of the Gators program, reality came crashing down against South Carolina.
The Gators (5-5, 3-5 SEC), battled back from an early 10-0 start by South Carolina (5-4, 4-4 SEC) to take over in the third quarter after one-yard touchdown run by Matt Jones. However, a stagnant offense and special teams problem led to the South Carolina tying the game up with 12 seconds to go. Gamecocks quarterback Dylan Thompson scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime.

Very good analysis Ryan. I have one question, WHERE WAS KELVIN TAYLOR?????????
Another question would be where was anyone/anything/any play other than Harris right/left/middle. The play calling after we went up a single touchdown and PAT was confusing at best and pathetic at worst.
