The set-up: I'm expecting a hard-fought, but ultimately lower-scoring game here. South Carolina is 4-6 and Florida is 10-4. The Gamecocks are just 1-4 SU in their last five, most recently off a loss to Vanderbilt. On the other end of the spectrum is Florida, which has won four in a row, most recently off a victory over WVU.

The pick: Both teams can score and each has seen the total fly over in several games of late, but I think this number has now gotten too high, as note that Florida has seen the total dip below the posted number in seven of its last ten home games after a five games or longer SU unbeaten streak. I think the Gamecocks continue their shaky play on the road and I look for this total to sneak "under" once it's all said and done.

This is an 8* TOTAL COACH'S CORNER on the UNDER South Carolina/Florida.
