Florida vs. South Carolina: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Radio, Game Time and More

Florida and No. 13 South Carolina will play each other in an exciting SEC matchup on Saturday in which both teams have a lot at stake, for different reasons.

South Carolina needs a win to keep pace with No. 14 Georgia in the SEC East division. Winning the SEC East would give the Gamecocks a berth into the SEC Championship game against a team such as No. 1 LSU, No. 4 Alabama or No. 8 Arkansas.

A win for Florida would make them bowl eligible. The Gators are currently 5-4 overall (3-4 in SEC play) and have not been consistent in head coach Will Muschamp's first season at Florida.

Let's look at everything you need to know about this awesome SEC matchup.

Betting Line: South Carolina -3 (according to BetOnline)

South Carolina is a more talented team than Florida and have an offense averaging just under 30 points per game. It's hard to imagine an outcome where the Gamecocks win by less than a touchdown.

Key Storyline

In his first season as Florida head coach, Will Muschamp has not been able to bring consistent football success back to the Gators.

Florida has already lost four SEC games this season and could easily lose a fifth to South Carolina this week.

Muschamp needs a win against the Gamecocks and former Gators coach Steve Spurrier to salvage a disappointing season in Gainesville.

Who might not play for South Carolina

Gamecocks quarterback Connor Shaw suffered a concussion in last week's loss to Arkansas but he has been medically cleared to play against Florida and is expected to play too.

Who might not play for Florida

Running back Chris Rainey has a sprained ankle injury and his status for Saturday's game against South Carolina is not certain. He did not play against Vanderbilt.

BCS/Top 25 Implications

South Carolina will likely not play in a BCS bowl game this season unless they win the SEC East division and then win the SEC championship game.

The Gamecocks need to win out to have a chance to reach a BCS game, and that starts with a must-win game against the weaker than usual Florida Gators.

Florida has no top 25 or BCS concerns this season, which is unusual for the Gators, but with a win the school becomes bowl eligible.

What They're Saying

Wes Mitchell who works at Scout.com said the following via his Twitter account.

South Carolina player to watch

Connor Shaw is expected to play Saturday after suffering a concussion in a loss to Arkansas, and now that he's the guy at quarterback he must prove he can beat talented SEC teams late in the season.

Florida player to watch

Last week against Vanderbilt, starting quarterback John Brantley injured his shoulder, and his status remains uncertain for his team's game against the Gamecocks on Saturday.

If he plays, Brantley needs to play well to prove he can lead the Gators to the best bowl game possible.

Key Matchup

South Carolina averages about 188 yards per game on the ground, and it's clearly the strength of their team. The battle at the line of scrimmage will be key in determining the winner.

Can the Florida defensive line beat the South Carolina offensive line?

On the Hotseat

After several seasons at South Carolina, head coach Steve Spurrier has not brought elite success to the Gamecocks.

Spurrier has not been able to bring South Carolina an SEC title in his tenure in Columbia, and with a loss to his former Florida team on Saturday there is very little chance that South Carolina's season could be considered a success.

Prediction: South Carolina wins 28--17

South Carolina's defense is quite athletic and with a banged up quarterback Florida will not be able to score enough points to beat the Gamecocks.

The Gators will lose the line of scrimmage battle this week and lose their fifth game in SEC play this season.
