Gators swai By MATT PLODENIC Staff Writer USC ? The Gamecocks snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with costly penalties and untimely turnovers in Saturday's 37-26 loss against Florida. USC came out prepared and looked like the team that many expected at the beginning of the season. The game plan that Coach Sparky Woods and his staff prepared was masterful. However, injuries to key players broke the team's spirit. USC opened the scoring on a 26yard run by Brandon Bennett. On the Gators' ensuing possession, Gamecock cornerback Frank Adams excited the crowd when he KlrwI^-pH <ihc?np Fr1op'<; mint Tf took the Gamecocks four plays to score on a 3-yard pass from Steve Taneyhill to Toby Cates. USC scored a field goal on its next possession to take a 17-0 lead one minute into the second quarter.

After a USC fumble and a Wuerffel touchdown sneak, Taneyhill threw his second touchdown pass of the day to Cates tc make the score 23-20 at halftime. In the First half, USC used a twotight end formation, but this plan was interrupted when tight ends Matthew Campbell and Boomei Foster were injured in the first hall and early in the second half respectively. Wuerrfel picked up in the second half where he had left off in the first half, leading the Gators to \1 points. The Gamecocks could only manage a field goal.
