Florida wins this game and bucks the road woes. Spencer Rattler has been able to pave over a few of the cracks for South Carolina, but they’re still 2-3 and allowed 30 points to a woeful Mississippi State team before falling to Tennessee 41-20 last week.
That means that the offenses are nearly identical in output, while Florida allows about 12.6 fewer points per game. They’re 121st in yards and 94th in points allowed per game, while the offense is 81st (one spot behind Florida) with 27 points per game. South Carolina has also faced a tough schedule, but its numbers are resoundingly underwhelming.
Their running game is strong and deep, and they have the fourth-highest average time of possession. The Gators’ offense is only 80th in scoring (27.2 points per game), but they’ve already faced Utah, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Florida has lost five straight road games dating back to last year, but we believe that a reversal in fortune is imminent.
