No. UF was still getting major love.
Trailing by one with ten seconds to go on the Carolina 10 yard line, Les lets the clock run to 1 second before running a fake field goal, hook and ladder with a lateral bounce pass for the game winning TD.
We were not ranked and Florida and Georgia were....all that was said about us is that it could be Spurriers best team and may surprise some peoplesouth carolina was getting alot though. (We were all doubting it because it was the gamecocks). They were either the most popular choice or, if it was UF like you say, they were the second choice
it was expected for the East to be a down year and most every writer was considering heavily that the fact that USCe being the only team returning their starting QB in the division was a major deal
