The Florida Gators are looking to string together a third-straight win against the LSU Tigers on Saturday, but the rivalry game hasn’t gone UF’s way in a few years.
Both programs are under new leadership and came into the year with lowered expectations as the rebuilds ensue. Florida has Billy Napier at the helm and Brian Kelly is the new man in charge at LSU. With both teams at 4-2, this matchup is an important one that was likely marked on the calendar by most as a toss-up. It should be a fierce battle that’s only decided by a handful of plays, but whichever team wins will have bragging rights for at least another year.
Beating LSU won’t be easy, but Florida has the offense to do it. [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag] finished with over 500 total yards against Tennessee and had the Gators fighting to the very end against the Volunteers. LSU lost 40-13 to that same Tennessee team last week, so that could be a sign that Florida is the superior squad.
However, the Gators have been an up-and-down team so far this season, so anything could happen on Saturday. Here’s what to look for when the two teams face off.
