TAKEAWAYS


- What did LSU work on in the bye week? Jalen Milroe looked like prime Michael Vick.

- This offensive line got punched in the mouth once again and did not bounce back.

- LSU has been outscored 73 to 19 in the last 6 quarters. This team looks lost suddenly.

- Once again, 8-4 is a real possibility.

- You have to involve Caden Durham and Mason Taylor more often.

- LSU was outcoached in this one, and it was obvious.


AWARDS

- Offensive MVP - Kyren Lacy - Kyren plays hard from the opening snap until the final snap.

- Defensive MVP - Whit Weeks - White had 15 total tackles and was involved in a few big stops for the Tigers.


The Tigers travel to Gainesville Saturday afternoon to take on the Florida Gators. Can they snap out of it? We shall see.

When: Saturday, September 13th, 2025, 6:30 PM Where: The Real Death Valley, Baton Rouge, LA Channel: ABC Spread: LSU -7.5 O/U: 46.5 This will be the 72nd time these schools meet up in this storied rivalry. This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
