Pregame Notes and Stories to Read Ahead of LSU-Florida Matchup

It’s game day for the Tigers as they hit the road to Gainesville for their highly anticipated SEC showdown against Florida. LSU looks to bounce back after their devastating loss to Tennessee and make a statement against the Gators Saturday night.

The Bayou Bengals have officially reached the peak in their schedule with it consisting of mainly top conference foes over the next two months.

Saturday night, LSU will be without starting left guard Garrett Dellinger after suffering a knee injury against Tennessee, but are set to return left tackle Will Campbell to the rotation after a scary situation held him out of last weekend’s contest.

We’re just hours away from kickoff with LSU and Florida getting things going for 6 p.m. CT. Here are a few pregame notes and stories to read to get you prepped for the matchup:

Pregame Notes (Provided by LSU)

LSU has used 5 different starting combinations on its offensive line this year with No. 6 expected on Saturday against Florida. Miles Frazier is the only player to start every game on the offensive line this year and he’s done so at 3 positions (3 at LG, 2 at RG, 1 at RT).

Offensively, LSU is averaging 31.8 points and 428.8 total yards per game (172.5 rushing, 256.3 passing).

LSU will start a different quarterback in the Swamp for the ninth consecutive meeting between the teams. JaMarcus Russell in 2004 and 2006 was the last LSU quarterback to start consecutive games in the Swamp.

QB Jayden Daniels has accounted for 10 TDs (7 passing, 3 rushing) and leads the Tigers in both rushing yards (359) and passing yards (1,215). He’s completed 68.8 percent of his passes (121-of-176) with only one interception.

Jaray Jenkins: I feel like Jayden [Daniels] threw the ball better. We always knew he had that… If he keeps going like that we’re gonna be great. #LSU
