Five things to know about the Florida Gators heading into Saturday’s matchup

LSU will head to Gainesville to take on a Florida team with a lot in common.

LSU is set to travel to Gainesville to face the Florida Gators in The Swamp. As is usually the case when these teams meet, there’s no shortage of storylines.

It’s a meeting of first-year head coaches. Prior to taking over at Florida, Billy Napier spent the last four years at Louisiana enjoying a good run with the Rajun Cajuns.
