The LSU Tigers travel to Gainesville to face the No. 6 Florida Gators (8-1), who have already locked up the SEC East division title, on Saturday.
LSU enters the game with a 3-5 record and rolls into Gainesville coming off a 55-17 beating from Alabama last weekend.
There’s a lot to look out for in what’s likely to be another lopsided matchup for the Tigers.
Here’s a look at the biggest pregame storylines ahead of Saturday’s match-up between the Tigers and Gators.
LSU without Arik Gilbert
Just as Terrace Marshall Jr. opted out last week before the Tigers faced Alabama. LSU tight end and former five star recruit Arik Gilbert opted out of the season earlier this week.
The freshman was second on the team in receptions with 35 catches for 368 yards and two touchdowns.
Gilbert, the highest rated tight end ever coming out of high school, leaves LSU with a void to fill at the position heading into the final two games.
The Tigers will use Kole Taylor and baseball star Nick Storz as the two tight ends against Florida on Saturday.
