Here are three observations, two questions and one prediction following Florida’s comeback victory over South Carolina as they enter a bye week.

No. 9 Florida’s game at South Carolina on Saturday had all the makings of a trap game. For a while, it looked like the Gators (7-1, 4-1 SEC) were going to fall into the trap, but they scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to defeat the Gamecocks (3-4, 2-3) 38-27.

It wasn’t the prettiest game offensively, but No. 9 Florida rebounded with a 38-27 comeback win over South Carolina on Saturday afternoon in Columbia by scoring 21 fourth quarter points.

No. 9 Florida squares off against South Carolina Saturday at 12:00 p.m. Here are three positions of strength, three positions of weakness and three players to watch for from the Gamecocks.

While the South Carolina Gamecocks’ defense ranks just 12th in the SEC in total defense and eighth in scoring defense, the statistics don’t tell the full story. The No. 9 Gators (6-1, 3-1 SEC) will have to be sharp offensively to head into the bye week with a win over the Gamecocks (3-3, 2-2).

Dan Mullen held his weekly game week press conference on Monday afternoon. He recapped what went wrong in the loss at LSU, previewed the challenge that awaits at South Carolina, detailed Kyle Pitts’ rise to stardom and more.

Here are three observations, two questions and one prediction concerning Florida football entering this pivotal week.

No. 7 Florida entered Saturday having given up but 57 total points in the first six weeks of the season. However, being tasked with facing No. 5 LSU without their two top defensive linemen was too much to ask of the Gators' defense.
