We find ourselves in a similar situation as last week against the Kentucky Wildcats. The LSU Tigers desperately need a win this week against an SEC East foe. The Florida Gators come into Tiger Stadium looking to hand out some redemption against a team that is struggling.
Prior to this week’s game, we found out that star wide receiver Kayshon Boutte won’t be available for this game. Actually, he won’t be available for the rest of the season which is a major blow for the offense. Without much protection, a consistent running game, and now the best offensive weapon on the team, doesn’t leave much hope for the Bayou Bengals.
Still, you have to play the game. No one gave the Texas A&M Aggies much of a chance last Saturday against Alabama, they stunned the No. 1 team in the country. LSU has the opportunity to quiet some of the noise surrounding the program and their head coach with a win on Saturday.
The team isn’t going to play for an SEC Championship, but they have an opportunity to salvage the season and get to a bowl game. With Florida coming to town, we check in with Tyler Nettuno of Gators Wire. He answered five questions about Florida ahead of the trip to Death Valley.
