COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier apparently knew that, when his Gamecocks were ranked No. 6 they were, well, probably overrated. "When we were 6-1, you guys heard me talking, I wasn't sitting on the table here telling you how great we were," Spurrier said Tuesday during his weekly news conference. "It sort of just all caught up to us against some good teams." Things don't get any easier Saturday night when South Carolina (6-4, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) hosts No. 17 Florida (6-3, 4-3). Spurrier will look to avoid only the second four-game losing streak of his more than 16 years coaching at the college level.
Spurrier has been through tough times before -- he lost 10 of 12 in his second and final season with the Washington Redskins. The last time Spurrier-coached college team dropped four straight was 1987 at Duke -- his first year as head coach.
