Continuing, Lagway was unavailable due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in the Gators’ loss to Georgia in Week 10. Before leaving the game, Lagway completed 2-of-his-6 pass attempts for 47 yards and a touchdown. He also recorded 18 rushing yards on four carries.

Amid all the changes in college football, LSU and Florida is a rivalry that dates back many, many seasons. The all-time series is as close as it can get in the sport, with the Tigers currently having the better of the Gators, with a 34-33-3 record in the clash of conference competitors. 

LSU has been dominant over the better part of the last decade, including a current five-game win-streak. They defeated the Gators by a score of 52-35 last season, and Florida has only won twice against LSU since 2013.

Moreover, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida, better known as The Swamp, will be rocking when LSU comes to town. The Tigers have lost in Gainesville back in 2018, when the Gators were victorious by eight points. A win over Florida once again on the road would be a statement.
