Florida-South Carolina to air on CBS

No. 3 Florida will host No. 24 South Carolina at 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 15, at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville.

The game will be nationally televised on CBS.

It will be the second return to Gainesville for Steve Spurrier since he took over the Gamecocks' program. And although the hoopla surrounding Spurrier has subsided greatly since his first return, UF coach Urban Meyer said this game still has special significance because of the Gators' former coach.

"I think it is a rivarly game,'' Meyer said. "I think, first of all, South Carolina is a very good team. And then you have the built-in rivalry with coach Spurrier coming back to town. So I think you'll have a rivalry atmosphere here (this week).''
