No. 3 LSU will take the field in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night for an SEC showdown against Billy Napier and the Florida Gators with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.

Brian Kelly and Co. enter the matchup with a 2-0 record for the first time under LSU's decision-maker as he looks to carry the program's momentum into Week 3.

On the other side, the Gators will be presented with an opportunity to bounce back after a Week 2 loss to South Florida with Billy Napier's crew entering the matchup with a 1-1 record.

For LSU, the program is entering the Southeastern Conference matchup looking to remain on track after back-to-back wins to open the season.

"This is what it looks like as you build continuity within your offensive structure," Kelly said on Wednesday. "We're not pressing any alarm bells, it's early in the season. Will we get better? Do we need to get better? Absolutely.

"But this is a process we were committed to and knew there was going to be some development that would need to take place. The splash is 50, 60 points a game but to me at the end of the day is winning football games. We're 2-0 and know we need to play better offensively but also knew this was gonna be a process for us."
