Florida vs. LSU, 35-28: Full highlights, final score and more
Trent Domingue lined up to kick a 33-yard field goal, but holder Brad Kragthorpe stood up and threw a slightly backwards pass to his left as Domingue ran toward the flat. Between October. 31 and November 7, much could be decided between the Georgia-Florida game and LSU traveling to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama (along with Ole Miss hosting Texas A&M, as one of them is guaranteed to take a second loss in SEC play next week and likely be eliminated from the West race). Miles asked, smiling. “My heart was fluttering with each bobble”.
“I blacked out a little bit”, Domingue admitted.
Although there was no Hollywood ending Saturday, the Gators (6-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) stood toe-to-toe with a fellow heavyweight and remained in the driver’s seat for a trip to Atlanta – something no Florida team has done with a first-year coach.
There’s this nagging underbelly of the fascination that is Leonard Fournette and all things LSU: who exactly have the Tigers played? “It was a gutsy call”. “They were in their overload, just like we thought”. We should have been high (protecting for the fake) instead of flat. “I can’t stand it. I play with a chip on my shoulder every single week”. “You know, I’m still learning right now”. It’s kind of a badge of honor.
After calling a fake field goal late in the game, the legend of “Mad Hatter” Les Miles continues to grow. LSU’s 28 points in the second quarter were the most UF had allowed in one quarter in 13 years.
He wouldn’t have cared that Tom Cruise was at last Saturday night’s game in Baton Rouge, won by his LSU Tigers 35-28. Brandon Harris (no relation) is the quarterback for LSU, but more importantly the Tigers have Heisman Trophy contender Leonard Fournette, who leads the nation in rushing but has not faced a defense yet as good of Florida’s.
For everything SEC…stories, news and notes follow End Zone Score’s Aaron Gehrig on Twitter. He finished with 202 yards passing and two touchdowns. This narrative, Harris said, began with LSU’s sloppy win against Eastern Michigan earlier this month.
“Brandon Harris is one of the key, fundamental guys to our success”, Miles said after LSU’s win on Saturday.
Treon Harris will be Florida’s quarterback going forward, and McElwain seems to believe Harris is ready.
Harris and Fournette combined on a few razzle dazzle to set up a 6-yard touchdown run by Fournette for a 21-7 lead with 2:24 to play in the second quarter.
Taking the snap at the 50, Harris avoided a sack and launched a bomb into the awaiting hand of Dupre at the 5 yard line. Just for fun, he’s also caught six passes for 56 yards, and it is just a matter of time until he finds the end zone with a pass.
LSU quarterback Brandon Harris threw to Malachi Dupre for a 9-yard TD. Lsu Tigers rank at 55 for scoring 33.3 points where as Florida Gators rank at 30 for allowing 18.3 scores. Harris handed the ball off to Fournette, who attracted his fair share of Florida defenders before pitching the ball back to Harris. Dupre had 4 catches for 115 yards and two scores. Harris did finish with 271 yards and two touchdowns, and Callaway continued a sensational freshman season with three catches for 100 yards – one a phenomenal combination of concentration and balance – and a 72-yard touchdown on a punt return.
