What does Florida need to do defensively against LSU?

Florida Gators’ defense hasn’t been great this year and the final regular-season game vs LSU Tigers gives them one last chance to tune up.

Slowly but surely, it seems that Florida’s defense is coming along. But it’s been far from perfect, and the last three outings against Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Tennessee all featured offenses that are among the league’s worst.
