GAMECOCKS VS. GATORS: WHAT’S AT STAKE
For South Carolina, it’s basically all upside. This is the hardest game on the Gamecocks’ 2020 schedule. It’s a longshot with the Gamecocks as more than a two-touchdown underdog.
Still, the USC offense and defense could both prove a little something. It’s only Game 2 in Mike Bobo’s scheme, so getting some production against a blitz-happy defense would show something. On the other side, South Carolina’s defense looks shaky, so anything it does to slow a strong Gators attack is a bonus.
The Gators are gunning for the first SEC East title since 2017 and look to be one of the best teams in the country. Dan Mullen hasn’t broken through as a head coach, and this might be his chance.

SOUTH CAROLINA PLAYERS TO WATCH
1. Quarterback Collin Hill looked pretty solid in his first game with USC. He threw for 290 yards and one touchdown, while running for another. He’ll have to deal with a blitz-heavy scheme
2. Tight end Nick Muse is the top option behind Shi Smith, and the Gamecocks could use more targets carrying the passing game. He had four catches against UT, but also dropped a key pass.
3. Cornerback Jaycee Horn is an anchor opponents rarely throw at, and he’ll be valuable wherever USC puts him. Florida has an unreal number of options, so where he’s used will say a lot about how the Gamecocks aim to defend the Gators.

Shi Smith is USC’s top target, but what about other receivers?

FLORIDA PLAYERS TO WATCH
1. Redshirt senior quarterback Kyle Trask grabbed the starting reins in the fourth quarter of Florida’s third game of the year last season, and he never looked back. Trask started the next 10 games and posted the highest passer rating for a Gator quarterback since Tim Tebow in 2009. Trask rolled over his success into Week 1, where he threw for a whopping six touchdowns and 416 passing yards.
2. Junior tight end Kyle Pitts went bonkers in Week 1 with eight catches for 170 yards and four touchdowns. (That’s not a typo. He scored four times.) Pitts isn’t the traditional sluggish tight end who lays down blocks and catches a few short passes. He’s a dynamic playmaker and one of the top tight ends in the college game, and he could cause matchup problems for the South Carolina defense.
3. Senior Kadarius Toney is listed as an athlete on Florida’s roster, and he lives up to that billing as a multi-faceted player who can do damage in a variety of ways. In Week 1 he put up 55 yards on two carries and added 59 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown on five catches.
