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
glad to hear that, a honest positive review. I was around some friendly gator fans as well
The Gator fans I came in contact with were great. Congrats from a Gamecock fan.
Being a Gator and having a best friend thats a Gamecock, SC and UF fans are some of the best people period 🧡💙 ❤️🤍
bro i swear south carolina fans are the least toxic ones
Gators fan here gotta say what an epic 4th quarter comeback that was.
Congrats Gators!! Y’all exposed us again! Your offense was outstanding today. We have got to have the worst defense in the SEC.
I mean to be fair, our defense sucks as well 😭
South Carolina have some cool fans, thank u for the mention.
That was a helluva game sir.
Go Gators 🏈 🐊 we're very fortunate to come out on top. Best of luck the rest of the way SC
I respect you for being an honest fan about your team.
Respect man your team isn’t as bad as the record shows I think whoever had it at the end was gonna win and luckily that was us
That Pearsall catch felt like "Doering's got a touchdown! ...."
My first thought, as well.
Very similar play , and catch…
Happy with this game, South Carolina is definitely better than their record shows. Let’s make this UGA game a competitive one
100% agree
@@AlphaBanditoNot 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-xk4lq3ll8lthe tip pass was lucky but if it was dropped fla still had 2nd and 10 not like it was game over either way
@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.😊
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.
@@mizer9510They already won in Tennessee (hostile crowd) they can play with anyone. They just need a couple of pieces on defense.
@@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
@@nicka-trade8052The game against Tennessee was in the swamp. Come on dude, wake up.
Mertz proved himself. Defense has a ways to go but they made the plays at the end
They only won because of south Carolina’s sucky defense
@@CJGjbaseball100%
Fire the DC and cut 21.@@CJGjbaseball
Doesn’t matter how we won we won! Whether by 1 or 20 we did it at your place ! Go Gators 🐊
@@howardcoffin8585 We are 2-4. Save the chest beating.
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.
2019 the game vs Kentucky where Felipe got hurt and Trask saved the game.
@@marcushines1033that was 2018 when Trask took over.
@@26michaelukNope. It was 2019. From that moment forward it became Trask's team.

@@WarriorVIIIt's South Carolina. Nothing to brag about. The Chicken 🍗 Curse is still alive here in Columbia South Carolina. Lmao 🤣😂🤣!!!
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.
The defense is killing us right now. It’s all fundamentals. Poor tackling and out of position. The bye should help
Georgia going down
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.
If only the offensive line could protect him more
@@fathogwrestler4821
Didn’t Florida just get blown out by Kentucky? Lower your expectations. Florida hasn’t had an elite program for several years now.
To quote the HBC… “God smiled on the Gators today.”
Billy actually quoted that in the post game presser. Made ME smile. Ha
@@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 💯!!!
Jesus hates the Gamecocks.
It's Great to Be a Florida Gator!
Dang sure is!!
great that you won against a 2-4 team by 2?
@@Jwaukechongreat that we won on the road. Gators have been allergic to road victories recently
@@wtfj4462 that’s true! I don’t hate Florida, just was curious.
Really?😂😂😂
Ricky pearsall is him go gators 🐊 !!!!!
I freaking love Ricky
Is who?

@@TheRayOfBlue slick Rick 🐊😤
We got a bye then it’s the biggest cocktail party in the world! FLorida showed me we ready for this game
Yessss... I'm in Jacksonville and we live for this game..... GO GATORS 🎉
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.
U mean as ready as can be to get defeated.
UGA won't sleep on FL and they scheme up well for the DAWGS
we got a big win but we are nowhere near “ready” for UGA, hopefully we can keep it within 2 scores 😭
Ricky was a one man army this game!! Didnt even show all his highlights cause it wouldve been nearly every catch 🐊🐊🐊
I was there live..enjoyed every moment of it. Go gators
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!
I stay in Columbia now and it was a great birthday gift. Left with my Gators winning and went right across the street to the state fair lol
Respect to South Carolina. Go gators!
I thought you guys played fantastic!!
@@billbobagginsbonham9239 appreciate that and same to you guys!!
@@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.
Don’t respect us. We’re the laughing stock of the SEC and always will be
This was the turning point in Napier’s Gators career. One day, they’ll point to this game as the moment he turned it around before winning a National Championship with that top recruiting class coming in next season.
Love our Gators but it's going to take more than one elite recruiting class to get us back there, at least 3
I wish I could laugh in multiple languages at this comment.😂😂😂
@@patrickoneill8707 because you’re not intelligent enough to know multiple languages?
@@patrickoneill8707you have 400 comments on this channel alone, i feel bad for you
As a fellow gator fan pump the brakes this was a much needed win but we aren’t close yet to championship status we’ll get there but we gotta keep building the culture with the right players
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.
I really dont want to see him throwing 48 times a game. That is not a recipe for success. Got to run the ball more.
@@mizer9510 Agreed. We had 33 rushing attempts for a paltry 71 yards - pitiful effort. That won't get it in the upcoming games.
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.
That was a helluva game.
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.
Just dont beat us too bad. Go gators
@@dreadheaddavid4207 Haha, never know in these intense rivalry games. Good luck 🤞🤞🤞🤞
@@jpturner9452 while this is true Travis will eat us up and your d is pretty strong too
Coach Beamer didn't wake up feeling the cheese-ist. 😂
😂
A great game by both teams. The Gamecocks played their hearts out, as did Florida.
Exciting Game
I got nervous on that last play like “gators don’t let that special teams nonsense happen” 😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great win for Gators, even with the no call holding at 8:23, which lea to GC a TD.
True, there were a lot of no call holdings .
Amazing game go gators on the win
Some amazing receptions in this game.
So smart to take the safety and punt to the other side
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
Mertz had a burrow moment with that roughing the passer on the game winner 💀
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.
Couldn't of said it better
I like that qb fla picked up from wis.
Florida Gators looks like they almost lose the game, but they really pull it off by beating South Carolina
Is that what it looked like genius?
You was high when u said that
Great game!! Props SC!
First Go Gators Nice comeback win
Did you even watch it does it look like a comeback dog
It was head to head the whole time you trippin
@@calebownz3633they were down 10 with 5 mins left

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.
Born & Raised in Jacksonville. I’ll be attending my 1st FL vs Ga game & I’m stoked !! GO GATORS 🐊
Florida Georgia in Duval should be a great one this year!
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
Loved all that you said I agree 💯
11:10 Love the energy of the commentator on that play. Go Gators!
Wow Great Game!
I couldn't believe 4th and 10 after three failed attempts, making that catch, then the nearly screwup with running out the clock
Great comeback win by Florida heading into the bye week before taking on Georgia
Both QBs played lights out. This game looks like a Big12 offensive shootout
Espn has the worst game editing crew
So many highlights this game they didn't even show the Pearsall game saver on 4th and 11
You analyzed it thoroughly
If that catch doesn't make a top ten-
LOVED SEEING USC JR FANS CRYING AND LEAVING AFTER THIS!! GO GATORS!! 🐊🐊🐊🐊
thank goodness for the kicker...
Gators' secondary defense needs to tighten up with better coverage and make tackles.
This is one of those instant classic kind of games.
What a game!
I had to listen to this game. Still it gave me an aneurysm almost.🐊🐊
Same! I was jumping up and down in a parking lot after the game winning touchdown.
USC still taking it on the shins year in year out.
All in all, a very entertaining game...keep up the great work and stay out of trouble boys. GO GATORS!!!
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...
Defense needs to get their heads up and play strong especially the D backs!
Amazing game. Go gators
I don’t know what Dial on defense for USC was doing all game but my god it was hard to watch. They need to fire the DB coach
what a game
SC always finds a way to lose smh
Apparently no highlights just a 15 second ad
Played 2nd time through 30 minutes later
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.
We are just EXTREMELY young so we are very inconsistent, it'll get better as they grow. Lagway will bring some big time recruits with him next season
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.
Chomp on that one, South Carolina
I love it. Go Gators!
Let GO GATORS great comeback in the 4th!!
Number 21 for south Carolina should be the MVP Florida.
Huge catch by number 8
That tip by pearsol on UFs last drive was a fantastic play design!!
it did look intentional.... he literally looked at wilson when he was tipping it lol
GO GATORS!
Y'all gonna choke against Georgia. Chop Chop
That tip to Wilson some are saying was drawn up
How’d you leave out the massive 4th down conversion?
I love Pearsall 🧡💙
Pearsall gon play on Sundays
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
After the Vols destroyed USCjr rattler said they don’t feel like a 2-3 team, so credit tk him for making them a 2-4 team!!
10 point lead with 4 minutes to go and you give up 2 TDs to choke the game away?!
CHOKE!
After 7 games, dem Gators control their own destiny in the East....
I guess this was the gators super bowl too, huh rattler?
Good game
It's about time Shane Beamer goes on the hot seat.
8:20. How is there not holding called there?
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.
Glad we came out with the W but we are not ready for GA …even with a bye
How you gonna skip those 4th down conversions in the highlights?!!
Agreed. They were huge exciting plays
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.
Great game on both sides Love SC but my gators won!
I didn't think that my alma mater could do it on the road, but darn near gave me a heart attack today. Great game gamecocks. I need a drink, lol....
season just about done...
you don't think Florida can win another game?
@@richardjohnson9702 No dude. My team. SC. Look at my avatar.
@richardjohnson9702 no homie he's talking about South Carolina. The ride ain't over yet for the Gators.
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!!!
Nice Job Gators Looks like Georgia gonna have a game on there hands. Im a Bulldog / Gator fan i know its crazy but i was born in Georgia and live in gator country. This is the only game i dont root for the Gators on . Go Dawgs!!! But i would Rather have the Gators beat us then anyone else so they could get some Love also they deserve it its time for them to Shine Also. Next few years are gonna be awesome we recruiting at high level and Florida is recruiting at high level so these games in years to come will be awesome for us Fans.
Great win but that defense needs to tighten up we can move the ball
Being a Carolina fan is a never-ending curse
Trey Smack for mvp
S.C. should have won this game..... something missing on S.C. could be dangerous.....
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.
Around the 4:40 mark….one of the best catches I’ve ever seen….
Gamecocks tho!😂 what a name
South Carolina had a two possession lead over Florida and the 4th quarter in they blew it.
