A couple of things surprised me about this box:
1. South Carolina blocked a field goal, then blocked a punt, and STILL got completely trounced in the field position battle.
2. South Carolina was projected to have won (just via EqPts and Turnover points) despite the fact that the blocked kicks don't play a direct role in that formula.
Of course, it wouldn't have made sense for something about this game to make sense. The game was incredibly even overall, with similar success rates (UF had a slight advantage), minimal big plays, similar turnovers, and iffy offensive line play for both teams. The 'Cocks needed special teams help to tie the game up and send it to overtime, but they weren't dramatically outplayed before that point either.
