Florida Gators vs. LSU Tigers: How to watch, channel, streaming
The Florida Gators are trying to become bowl eligible. A win Saturday in The Swamp over No. 22 LSU would get them one step closer to making that a reality.
It won’t come easy.
Although the Tigers, 6-3 overall, 3-2 in the SEC, have dropped two straight games, they remain a formidable opponent. Behind junior quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who is seventh nationally in passing yards this season, the Tigers score 30 points a game so a banged up Florida defense will have its hands full.
The Gators, 4-5, 2-4, are coming off a humbling 49-17 loss at then-No. 5 Texas. But Florida was without starting quarterback DJ Lagway, who has been recovering from a hamstring injury. He has been cleared to play this week, which could give some much-needed life to the Gators offense.
LSU has won five straight over the Gators and 11 of the past 14 in a series Florida used to own. Can the Gators get their mojo back in The Swamp this weekend?
