LSU wore gold jerseys against UF?

Is the image below of Herb Tyler photoshopped? Maybe my memory has completely failed me, but I don't recall LSU playing Florida in gold jerseys and white pants. I know that in around 1998-99 Steve Spurrier threatened to not let LSU wear white jerseys at home, but that was after Tyler's tenure (except senior year)...

Yeah Spurrier was being his normal dick self and wouldn't let LSU wear white on the road or something, so we went with yellow.

The gold jerseys are hideous!
'98 was my graduation year at LSU but I don't recall watching that game either.

Saban's first year, we wore purple at UF. Same reasons I guess.

After we defeated the then #1 Gators in '97 our fans rushed the field and apparently this upset Coach Spurrier. So in response for his agreement to let us wear white for the next home game against them (presumably in '99) we would have to permit the Gators to wear white at the Swamp in '98.
In response, DiNardo decided to have us wear the most hideous eyesore of dark uniforms.
As for the game itself it was probably the only high-point of Tepper's LSU coaching career. Halftime score was 10-6 Tigers. I don't readily recall the Booker int but do recall Joe Wesley dropping a sure pick-six. Remember thinking how we could've used Faneca that game.
I'm ok with Spurrier's competitiveness. I think he ran a clean program and I think the NFL both mellowed and matured him. But white jerseys at home was a long-standing LSU tradition whereas UF (to my knowledge) has no motivation for the same. This was more of a case of Spurrier being 'I'm bigger than your tradition.' Have nothing against USCe but enjoy seeing Spurrier getting pummeled/embarrassed - how sweet was Colt David's TD run?
