Why facing Florida Gators could be exactly what LSU football, Ed Orgeron need | Toppmeyer

This the "Topp Rope," a biweekly SEC football column from the USA TODAY Network's Blake Toppmeyer.

Unusual events occur when Florida and LSU square off.

Not sure anything can top LSU winning in the fog last season after Florida’s Marco Wilson impersonated the "Austin Powers" villain Random Task and threw a shoe, a 15-yard penalty that extended an LSU drive culminating in a game-winning field goal.

It was perhaps the most stunning result in a series marked by upsets since Florida entered Tiger Stadium with a 3-3 record in 2003 and upset Nick Saban-coached LSU 19-7, the Tigers’ only loss in a national championship season.
