The Florida defense has been preparing all week for both Jayden Daniels and Garrett Nussmeier. If Daniels has to leave the game for whatever reason, the Gators should be prepared for Nussmeier.

The Gators need one more win to qualify for a bowl game. They have No. 18 LSU tonight, No. 14 Missouri next Saturday and No. 4 FSU to end regular season play. Losing to Arkansas was probably the worst thing that could have happened to Florida.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Florida defers, will take the ball to open the second half.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

No pass rush from Florida, but Daniels still misses on first down.

Williams throws an LSU player to the turf after the play.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

LSU forced to take a TO. Maybe deferring wasn't a bad idea if UF can hold LSU here on the opening drive.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

All three Heisman contenders showcased are transfer quarterbacks.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Florida forces a third and long and there goes a 39 yard pass completion.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Smart time out by Daniels. Back-to-back first downs and now the Gator defense is struggling

 

[Mark Wheeler]

If Williams is the spy, that is advantage LSU.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Did Florida's defensive line burn up all their energy during the pre-game scuffle?

 

[Romeg8r]

We just don’t tackle at all. This could get real ugly. And this is probably our best chance for a win n these last three.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Burke is out there early.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Florida are moving the ball nicely. Great start so far.
