Key points:

-Florida has already secured a spot in the SEC Championship game and a win over the Gamecocks would mean the Gators have swept the SEC East.

-This will be just the fourth time since South Carolina joined the SEC that Steve Spurrier won't be on the sidelines for either school.

-There have only been three occasions this season where the Gators defense has allowed 24 points or more. They're giving up the second-fewest yards per game in the conference. However they will be without several key players against the Gamecocks. Defensive lineman Joey Ivie and Jonathan Bullard as well as safety Keanu Neal will be out with injuries. Defensive End Jordan Sherit will miss the first half of Saturday's game after being called for targeting last week against Vanderbilt.

Last time out:

Florida defeated Vanderbilt 9-7 and South Carolina fell to Tennessee 27-24.
