Florida lost to South Carolina in overtime in excruciating fashion thanks mostly to this disgusting touchdown you see above. SC tied the Florida Gators with 15 seconds left and forced overtime on a play that was gross from the jump; the snap was low, but quarterback Dylan Thompson was able to field it and run the option, pitching it to Mike Davis just before he took a nasty hit. The pitch was a little behind Davis so he couldn't handle it cleanly and watched it drunkenly bounce into the end zone, where he then pounced on the fumbled ball for the game-tying touchdown. Just how the Head Ball Coach drew it up.

It was an ugly cap to a bizarre finish for the Gators. Clinging to a 17-10 lead, they had a 32-yard field goal blocked with just over three minutes left in the game, but got the ball back when they held the Gamecocks on a fourth-and-ten play, only to have the punt blocked on the ensuing possession.After the blocked punt, South Carolina got the ball on the Florida 34 and got inside the 10 with a 27-yard pass to Davis. A pass interference call put them on the Gators five-yard line, where they then scored on that ugly-ass option play.In overtime, Florida got the ball first and managed a field goal. SC, predictably, got in the end zone on a quarterback keeper to win 23-20.
