Florida Gators Blow Late Lead vs. South Carolina After Having Punt Blocked

The Florida Gators looked like they were going to come away with a big win against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday, but two major late-game special teams gaffes cost them the victory.

Up 17-10 with less than four minutes remaining, the Gators had a 32-yard field goal blocked. Then, with only 39 seconds left in the game, an uncovered South Carolina player burst through and blocked a punt, giving the Gamecocks the ball on Florida's 34-yard line. 

To make things even worse for the Gators, this is how South Carolina scored its game-tying touchdown, with Mike Davis recovering his own fumble in the end zone:

The Gamecocks came away with a 23-20 win in overtime on this game-winning touchdown run from quarterback Dylan Thompson:

South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier had to feel good escaping Gainesville with an unlikely come-from-behind win.

Dane Brugler from CBS Sports and Josh Kendall from The State provided postgame quotes from Spurrier, who felt bad for Gators coach Will Muschamp:
