"You hear it a lot out there at practice," CB Loucheiz Purifoy said. "'Hold the ball high and tight, don't hold it down low, we're going to strip you. You'll become a violator."


On the opening play, a cornerback blitz by Purifory forced a Shaw fumble to give Florida the ball on the Gamecocks' 1-yard line. Later, junior Trey Burton forced and recovered a fumble by Sanders on a punt return to set up Florida's second of three first-half touchdowns following turnovers.During last week's 44-11 rout of South Carolina, Florida coaches identified QB Connor Shaw and return man Ace Sanders as violators.

Coaches pick up on tendencies on film and pinpoint a handful of violators for Florida's players each game. To beat Georgia (6-1, 4-1 SEC) and win the East division, the Gators (7-0 6-0) will be on the lookout.

"We ain't identified all of them," Purifoy said Tuesday. "Their running backs."

No single factor may be more responsible for Florida's rise than turnovers. In 2011, the Gators finished 113th in the nation with a turnover margin of minus-12, while the 2012 Gators are tied for ninth with a plus-11 margin.

Florida has recovered seven fumbles, intercepted eight passes and given away the ball on offense just four times.
