Overview

• Two separate confrontations broke out roughly 75 minutes before kickoff during warmups at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.
• Reporters on site said the second scrum near an end zone followed Florida players circling the field and it prompted officials to throw flags.
• Following initial confusion, an LSU spokesman clarified there was no formal warning and no unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties assessed on either team.
• Videos and on-the-ground accounts showed shoving and a rapid swell of players from both sidelines before the situations quickly cooled.
• Coverage placed the flare-ups in the context of a heated rivalry that has included the shoe-throwing penalty, with No. 3 LSU entering 2-0 and Florida at 1-1 after a loss to South Florida.
