After easily dispatching Vanderbilt last week, the Gators hit the road for their second SEC game away from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to take on the LSU Tigers. The last time Florida played in front of a hostile crowd, it didn’t go too well. UF lost to Kentucky 20-13, essentially ending its chances of winning the SEC East.
This week’s game should not prove to be quite as challenging, though the Tigers are a team with talent on the roster. They sit at just 3-3 and could be in the beginning stages of a major spiral. Coach Ed Orgeron and his squad will look to avoid that as the Gators come to town for a morning matchup in Death Valley, with kick set for 12 p.m. EDT (11 a.m. local).
LSU’s recent struggles and the early kick should help reduce the crowd as a factor in this one, but you can never bank on a win at Tiger Stadium, where Florida has just two victories since 2003. Here’s everything you need to know about this LSU team.
