Gators keep SEC East hopes alive: Florida can clinch the East by winning at LSU on Saturday. If they drop that game, they would need Tennessee to lose to either Missouri or Vanderbilt in order to make it back to Atlanta. (Garry Smits, Florida Times Union)

The injury bug followed the Gators home from Fayetteville: Several Florida players went down against South Carolina. Marcus Maye injured his arm and is out for the year. Tyler Jordan, playing at center for the injured Cameron Dillard, went down and did not return. David Sharpe also left, as did Bryan Cox. Austin Appleby noted that he was more comfortable with the second string offensive line anyway, as that was who he had taken the most reps with.
