WATCH: 2 South Carolina defenders don’t seem to want to recover a Florida fumble

Recovering a fumble is no easy task, as footballs are not exactly the easiest things in the world to pick up, especially when they’re bouncing around on the ground.
However, usually players at least make an attempt to recover the loose ball, but that wasn’t the case in Gainesville on Saturday afternoon.
As you can see in the video below, a pair of South Carolina defenders has a chance to grab a fumble, but neither makes a real attempt to do so:

Of course, that didn’t end up mattering, and the Gamecocks are dominating the Gators early, leading 14-0 in the first quarter.
If the Gators claw their way back in the game, though, maybe South Carolin defenders will have to start giving a bit better effort on loose balls.
