Florida Gators release depth chart ahead of game with LSU Tigers
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Billy Napier will be returning to Louisiana for the first time since becoming the Florida Gators head coach. The Gators will travel to Baton Rouge this weekend to take on the LSU Tigers (6-3, 4-2 SEC).
“Our time in Louisiana was fantastic. Really appreciative of the people in Acadiana and Lafayette for the first-class experience for not only myself but our family as well. My wife, Ali, and our kids really enjoyed our time there,” Napier said on Wednesday. “One of the reasons we stayed there as long as we did. We’ve got some kids from Louisiana, and I think anytime you go back to your home state there’s an element of that, that’s significant,” I know our guys will be excited. But, look, we play in the SEC. Every week presents a great opportunity. There’s always some challenges to each opponent that we play. This is going to be a great opportunity for our team and some of the players on our team.”
Notes
- The Florida Gators will get back starting nose tackle Cam Jackson this week. The Memphis transfer, and Louisiana native, missed the Arkansas game with an upper-body injury last week.
- Starting defensive end Tyreak Sapp, who also missed the Arkansas game, will be back this weekend against LSU.
