Saturday’s contest between Florida and LSU feels like a must-win for both teams.
Both feature first-year head coaches, and both sit at 4-2 with some positive moments (and some not-so-positives). The Tigers are coming off their worst loss of the season against Tennessee, and they’re trying to avoid a losing streak when they travel to take on a Gators squad that has some issues of its own, namely on defense and in the passing game.
One of these two coaches will wake up Sunday at 5-2 and be feeling good about Year 1. The other will be 4-3 and have a lot to work on. Here’s how our staff sees this one playing out.
