No. 19 LSU (6-3, 4-2 SEC) returns to Tiger Stadium on Saturday night to face Florida (5-4, 3-3 SEC). Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CT on the SEC Network.

The Tigers are coming off a 42-28 loss to Alabama in Tuscaloosa last week, while the Gators lost to Arkansas 39-36 in Gainesville.

The overall record between LSU and Florida is tied 33-33-3. The Tigers have won four straight games vs. the Gators dating back to the 2019 season, including last year's 45-35 win in the Swamp.

LSU is a 15.0-point favorite for Saturday's matchup, and the over/under is 67.5. Per LSU:

Last week, LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels continued to look like a Heisman frontrunner, finishing 15-of-24 for 219 yards and two touchdown passes along with 163 yards rushing and a score on 11 carries against a stout Alabama defense.

Daniels left the game in the fourth quarter and did not return due to a head injury. On Thursday, Coach Kelly listed Daniels as “probable” to play against Florida after being evaluated throughout the week.

“He practiced again today, so he will most likely pass the protocol,” head coach Brian Kelly said on Thursday. “He’s been able to prepare in a manner that he feels comfortable and we feel comfortable, or else we wouldn’t put him out there.”

Malik Nabers became the second player in LSU history with two 1,000 yard receiving seasons, joining Josh Reed (2000, 2001). It’s the 11th time an LSU player has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in a single season.
