The Gators enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence for the first month of the college football season, which was a testament to the way new head coach Jon Sumrall prepared his team this offseason. After their blowout loss to Missouri last week, Sumrall now gets to prove how valuable he can be after an unexpected defeat.
Florida probably wasn't as good as they showed for the first four games of the season, but they also aren't as bad as the product they put on the field last week. The Gators have a prime opportunity to get back into a groove against a struggling Gamecocks team.

South Carolina vs. Florida prediction, pick:
It seems like whatever can go wrong will go wrong for South Carolina right now. The Gamecocks appeared to have things well in hand against Kentucky last week, taking a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter. The game unraveled from there for South Carolina, who struck first in overtime, but lost on a Kentucky touchdown and two-point conversion.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly what has befallen the Gamecocks, but two fumbles last week helped Kentucky get back into the game, and a team like Florida will also have no issues turning extra possessions into points.
While Florida should win this game going away, Gators fans will want to see the dominant running game return this week. Jadan Baugh was shockingly held to 13 yards rushing last week, which should not be the case in this contest. We can also expect to see more of Duke Clark, who was barely used last week against the Tigers.
Prediction: Florida 37, South Carolina 24
Best Bet: Florida -12.5
