Overview

  • Players from both teams tangled twice during warmups, including a larger scrum near an end zone after Florida ran a lap around the field by the LSU student section.
  • Officials threw flags to rein in the pregame confrontations, and an LSU spokesman later clarified there were no formal warnings or unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
  • Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC from Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, with streaming available on major services that carry the network.
  • LSU enters 2-0 and ranked No. 3 after an opening upset of then-No. 4 Clemson and a 23–7 win at Louisiana Tech behind quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.
  • Florida arrives 1-1 following an 18-16 home loss to South Florida, and sportsbooks list LSU as roughly a 6–7 point favorite; LSU center Braelin Moore was listed probable and expected to play.
