The No. 3 Florida Gators have a halftime lead against unranked South Carolina in Gainesville on Saturday afternoon, but it has been far from a championship-level performance.
The Gators are up 24-14, but there’s plenty of frustration among the fan base, most of it targeted at DC Todd Grantham.
As you can see below, there were some fan and media reactions to Grantham’s defense struggling in the first half:
Defense not set, guys out of position, absolutely horrid tackling. It’s Grantham. Continues to be Grantham. And Stiner has no idea what an angle is.

Todd Grantham alone is going to keep us from winning a title.
He and him alone.

Grantham gotta go. Dudes are out of place. Dudes aren’t ready at the snap. Dudes are looking around with their hands up not knowing what to do before the snap. It’s honestly worse than last week.

Will the Gators be able to overcome their defensive struggles and avoid an upset loss? The offense continues to fire on all cylinders, so Florida will score some points.
Now, it’ll be up to Grantham to get his defense to play better after the break.
