LSU football score vs. Florida: Can Brian Kelly, Tigers stop a skid vs. Billy Napier?
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - LSU football will look to score a bounce-back victory this Saturday (6 p.m., ESPN) when it heads to The Swamp to take on Florida.
LSU (4-2, 2-1 SEC) was embarrassed in its own stadium last Saturday, as it suffered a 40-13 blowout loss to Tennessee. Florida (4-2, 1-2), meanwhile, earned its first SEC of the season by defeating Missouri at home, 24-17.
Saturday will be the first time LSU first-year coach Brian Kelly and Florida first-year coach Billy Napier have ever squared off against each other. Napier, formerly the coach at UL, left the Ragin' Cajuns for Florida only days before Kelly decided to depart Notre Dame for Baton Rouge.
LSU won last season's matchup between the two sides, defeating the Gators 49-42 in Tiger Stadium. LSU running back Tyrion Davis-Price rushed for 283 yards and three touchdowns, as the Tigers also forced four turnovers in the win.
LSU has won the last three games between the two sides. It has also been the victor in nine of the past 12 matchups.
