As a Gator fan, I traveled to this game and was sitting in the stands surrounded by Gamecock fans.. My wife and I dressed in Gator jerseys and Gator shoes and man, let me tell you how aweosme these fans were.. Extremely friendly and engaging with friendly and polite banter and competitive conversations.. If by chance any of them see this comment, I just want to say thank you for making this game such an awesome experience. We were in Section 22 Row 2 Seats 23 & 24
As a Gamecocks fan that I'm not the least toxic one. Because realistically I'm the most toxic one. Because I hate it when my Gamecocks lose a close game that they should've won and that's all I'm saying.
Huge win for the Gators to finally get one on the road. Big time confidence booster going into the Georgia game. It might mean something or nothing but this is the kind of win that can turn your season around.
Let’s just say hypothetically Florida beats Georgia LSU and FSU to close out the season. It would be really interesting how they would be ranked to end the season
@@loganpineda123I seriously doubt that will happen. If they win 1 of those games I'd be happy, 2 I'd be ecstatic. I think as Gator fans we just want to see them compete and play with passion. It's a young team and better times are ahead.
@@mizer9510 obviously it probably won’t happen that’s why I said hypothetically. It was more of a conversation about current ranking system than floridas talent/future
@@YouWhoozyNot really. As a Gamecocks fan, they're TRASH 🗑️!!! (Especially in the secondary) No offense to Mertz, but he looked like Tom Brady out there. Not to mention that LUCKY tipped pass. Lmao 🤣😂🤣! Florida was just Meant to Win that game. And South Carolina was meant to LOSE!!! The Chicken 🐔 Curse continues in Columbia. Lol!
@user-xk4lq3ll8l southcarolina has a good offense, rattler is great, o line had improved and mario anderson is a very good rb, but man they may have the worst defense in the SEC, they get 40 points scored on them by every power 5 team almost.😊
I can't recently remember the last time Florida won a game after trailing by double digits on the road in the 4th quarter. Probably Kentucky or Tennessee game 5-10 years ago maybe.
Mertz seems to becoming more comfortable as the season goes...so the offense seems to be getting better...just need to tighten up on our defense. Hopefully a bye week will help...guys being out of place and etc...more mental right now.
Well, he actually has a coach who is adjusting to his skill set unlike at Wisconsin. It is becoming quite clear that Paul Chryst was the problem at Wisconsin, not Mertz.
@@fathogwrestler4821 Didn’t Florida just get blown out by Kentucky? Lower your expectations. Florida hasn’t had an elite program for several years now.
Maybe is Georgia keeps looking like they have I mean Vandy scored 20 today. I'll take one win out of UGA,LSU, and FSU as long as they get better on defense and keep opening up the offense. And win the rest like Missouri and the bowl game.
@@billbobagginsbonham9239No we didn't. We BLEW a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter. And made Mertz look like Tom Brady. Lmao 🤣😂🤣! How do you give up a 4th and 11 like that in the 4th quarter?!?!? Carolina DESERVED to LOSE that game. Clayton White will be GONE after this season. And Shane Beamer will be GONE after the 2025 season. He seems to be a nice 👍 guy, but he's a TERRIBLE Head Coach.
@@WarriorVIIYeah we miss Spurrier. Because this Beamer guy is TRASH 🗑️!!! Clayton White Our DC will be GONE after this season. And Shane Beamer will be GONE after the 2025 season. FACTS 💯!!!
Imagine if this team wasn't filled with freshman starters. We'll get to see that in 2025 after the incoming class gets some seasoning behind them. Today was one of the best games this team has played and they did it on the road where they couldn't buy a win. Great game and fun to watch!
Can't wait for the yearly brawl between my Noles and these Gators. The Gators showed some grit and determination by winning after being down 10 in the fourth. Good win.
Much respect to USC. A great come-from-behind win on the road for the Gators and best game yet by Mertz. But if the defense doesn't get better, especially the secondary, Georgia will run up 600 yards on us.
need a much better mix of Etienne/Johnson carries to blend with Mertz playaction. He clearly can make good decisions, so it’s on the staff now to keep Kirby and Co (and everyone else on the schedule) guessing. There are quality ingredients there to make an exciting offense. My concern is tackling and coverage with the LBs and secondary
@@mizer9510idk man they actually let mertz throw the ball downfield this game and he proved he can make any throw out there as long as the o line holds up
Look at those throws again. The receivers were the heroes on many of those passes. Folks above are right. Napier gets tunnel vision. He gets wrapped up in running or wrapped up in throwing, and can't find a balance that keeps the defense off balance. It's great progress though.
Hey man hats off to SCar, they played their butts off. They're a better team than their record would lead you to believe. Mertz had his coming out party.
What a game nice way to show resilience good confidence booster , Money Mertz has been ballin all year him & ricky shoutout AR8 that kid gon be special at TE
I apologized during the Utah game but I’ll say it again Graham Mertz is a good qb. He really has stepped up big time the change of scenery has helped him massively. You have earned my support to wear the #15🫡🫡🫡. As for the game defense is young and clearly has ways to go but there’s potential. Offense was amazing we were executing really well in a tough environment in Columbia, which finally man a good win on the road
10:25 this was nerve wrecking to watch, but glad it was a TD.... 10:47 I'm pretty sure this wasn't the original play but glad it turned our way too. there was a play before where FL went for it on 4th and long and Pearsall made this nice catch - wish that was in the highlights. ......glad to see more pass plays..especially longer ones......but why is our D just getting worse each weak? seems like our D is less aggressive and giving free plays to opponents each week since Vandy game.
My guy Miguel Mitchell #10💙💙💙 I love my Nephew/Cousin. I was his babysitter when he was a baby. I actually gave his Mom (my 1st cousin)the name Miguel. Our smart guy! Proud Auntie/Cousin.
Okay!..This was a very entertaining SEC game, with lots of field goals and astonishing plays...The Gators out-smarted the Gamecocks while on the road in warm weather... The Big 10 is different... Fear the Turtle...Go Terps...Beat the Wildcats...
Who ever number 14 is , he left his cornerbacks out to dry on several plays. As a former safety he need trust the linebackers to cleanup everything thats 10 yards or less and provide some safety over the top. he either got scored on or he left someone wide open.
Lot of teams with worse records looking better than the other teams but still losing this week. Like a lot. Like way too many. Every game goes the same way. South Carolina looked like the better team for 58 minutes. It’s happened in nearly half the game highlights I’ve watched this morning. It ridiculous
Please ESPN, Pls don't let us know the winner in advance with a THUMBNAIL.😭 even thou a match between the unranked teams, it was a great great GAME!~ and, I thought the Gamecocks and Rattler, they'd get better results this season, but it's a shame.
wow how refreshing to hear a gator coach say God Bless at the end of an interview,, shows character. cant remember ever hearing a gator coach say that before. good job there coach... but d is weak,, need to spend tons of time on tackle drills and go to marine camp to get mean. #8 db needs to sit or get tougher, very poor play, #10 not much better.. only d guy i saw trying to nail someone was #44.. lots of arm tackles, ankle biting and general softness,, who is S&c coach.. maybe not good enuf... qb showed some fire and grit... good job 15.
Carolina were badically bullying the Gators by the 3rd and 4th inning(seriously, it was infuriating how they double teamed the gators) but they made one of the most epic comebacks ive seen in month!!!
They desperately needed that win, and blew a 10 pt lead. Napier and UF wanted it more so good for them. This season is about done for our guys, unless a miracle happens. I hope we keep the recruits for 2024. It just can’t come together for my poor alma mater.

Both QBs played lights out. This game looks like a Big12 offensive shootout
Mertz had a burrow moment with that roughing the passer on the game winner 💀
I couldn't believe 4th and 10 after three failed attempts, making that catch, then the nearly screwup with running out the clock

8:20. How is there not holding called there?
If that catch doesn't make a top ten-
11:05 NFL play there by Mertz. Pumps left side to freeze safety then throws dime between coverage.
