 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Steve Spurrier wins the South Carolina-Florida matchup whichever sideline he's on. With Mike Davis and Daccus Turman both running for two touchdowns, South Carolina's new head ball coach beat the 12th-ranked Gators 30-22 on Saturday in his first meeting against the school where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1966 as a quarterback and a national championship in 1996 as a coach.
It wasn't the kind of blowout Spurrier's Gators perfected during his 12 seasons there from 1990-2001. But it broke Florida's 14-game winning streak in the series — a run Spurrier contributed to by going 10-0 vs. South Carolina — that had dated to 1939.
And it closed any chance the Gators (7-3, 5-3) had of playing for the Southeastern Conference championship.
