Watch! South Carolina vs Florida live stream

The last time Florida rose to No. 3 in the AP Top 25 rankings, its opponent in its next game was South Carolina and the Gators throttled the Gamecocks 44-11 in 2012. Ironically, that was during Will Muschamp's most successful of three seasons as the UF's coach. Now with Florida (1-0) ranked No. 3 for the first time since then, the Gators' opponent is South Carolina again. This time, Muschamp will be on the opposite sideline attempting to direct the Gamecocks to another marquee October upset.

South Carolina (0-1) beat then-No. 3 Georgia on the road in October 2019, giving Muschamp his best victory of an otherwise dismal season that placed him on the hot seat. Guiding his team to another such victory would do wonders for the coach who owns a 26-26 record in the fifth season of his second gig as an SEC East coach.

But beating Florida will require slowing down an offense that set a school record by racking up 642 yards in a season-opening win against Ole Miss last week. The Gators defense looked susceptible in the team's 51-35 victory over the Rebels, however, which will put the onus on a revamped South Carolina offense to keep up in what could be a high-scoring affair.
