Florida’s best chance against LSU is to play keep away

LSU’s defense has struggled mightily in 2023. It wasn’t all that great to begin with, and it has since lost key players to injury. The secondary has really been hit hard by maladies, so it’s tempting to say that’s where Florida should attack the Tigers similar to what the Gators did to South Carolina.

UF may end up trying to push the ball down the field with the pass if they fall behind by enough, but that’s probably not the path to victory. For as much as Graham Mertz has exceeded expectations, he’s no Jayden Daniels. Daniels is probable for the game, as LSU apparently has a rather streamlined concussion protocol.
