LSU RB Fournette out against Gators

Is stopping him the key? Although Etling passed both of those tests within the SEC, he struggled (11 of 24 for 92 yards) against Alabama.

Despite having a lackluster offense again, Jim McElwain is two-for-two in the SEC East at Florida.

On the ensuing possession, Florida drove 39 yards on 10 plays and narrowed the deficit to 7-3 on Eddy Pineiro’s 36-yard field goal with 13:19 left in the second quarter. Florida is only allowing opponents to gain 266.4 yards of offense per game, which ranks best in the SEC. Those numbers were driven mostly by the first two Tigers drives, however. “We just told each other we have to play with a goal, everything had their own set thing to drive them and I think we did a good job and came out victorious”.

It didn’t take long for the ill will to surface between Florida and LSU on Saturday in Baton Rouge.

The Gators’ best feature in the first half, however, was their special teams play. And he’s tried to build up both the offensive line and offensive playmaking positions with an infusion of youth despite not having a quarterback who could take advantage of the latter.

Florida’s visit to LSU this weekend — for what was supposed to be a Gators home game — is the result of an acrimonious stalemate last month over what to do about an impending natural disaster.

Blakeney was one of four LSU players to score in double figures. The Gators and Tigers have met in every year since 1971, and the overall momentum in this series has shifted in recent years. Moore and Derrius Guice from the Gators’ 1-yard line on the game’s final two plays, clinching the dramatic upset and the Eastern Division championship. Fournette is dressed and on the field. And Florida finished outside of the top 10 nationally, and sixth in the conference in the 247 composite rankings a year ago.

Florida enters the contest with a record of 7-2 (5-2), while LSU sits at 6-3 (4-2).

There’s also the matter of the 19 seniors that will be honored before the game, which includes team leaders like Tre’davious White, Duke Riley, Kendell Beckwith, Lewis Neal, Dwayne Thomas, Ethan Pocic and Travin Dural.

Yet it was a defensive and running display up until the end. The defense came up with a goal line stand to end the game.

Only two weeks ago, the Tigers allowed just 10 points to a No. 1 Alabama squad which has averaged 44.7 points in its nine other games.

The third down call was to a fullback, just adding to the throwback feel of the game. Yeah … Clemson has showed its flaws, and it’s up to the Tigers to make sure those mistakes aren’t repeated. The Gators defense pulled him back, stopping the Tigers just inches short. With the SEC East title at stake, Florida finds a way to keep this one close into the third quarter.
