Florida vs. LSU: Brian Kelly’s Tigers are a tale of diverging tactics

Florida vs LSU is always a wild time. One of my first SEC road games as a child was a trip to Death Valley in 1997. That turned out poorly for young me, but it resulted in LSU fans storming the field and ripping down the two-legged goalposts after the Tigers upset the No. 1 Gators. The series hasn’t really slowed down much since.

This year’s edition will be no different. Both teams are 4-2 under new coaching staffs. Neither team has been particularly impressive outside of FCS games. An added layer of intrigue is the fact that Florida coach Billy Napier seemingly wasn’t deemed worthy of consideration for the open LSU job last season.
