Overview

  • LSU beat Florida 20-10 in Baton Rouge to open SEC play and improve to 3-0, with the defense picking off DJ Lagway five times.
  • At his postgame presser, Kelly cut off WBRZ’s Michael Cauble, called reporters “spoiled,” and pointed to LSU’s 17-1 night-game record.
  • LSU managed 316 total yards, just 13 offensive points, and 4-of-14 on third down, with 96 rushing yards boosted by a late 51-yard Caden Durham run.
  • Defensive back Dashawn Spears recorded two interceptions, including a 58-yard pick-six for the game’s only second-half touchdown.
  • Video of the confrontation captured by On3/Rivals circulated widely, and Kelly later said Nussmeier’s interception “can’t happen” while noting the offensive line remains a work in progress after NFL departures.
