Defensive struggles haunt the Gators against LSU

The Florida Gators dropped to 5-5 (3-4 SEC) after a 52-35 loss to the No.19 LSU Tigers (7-3, 5-2 SEC) inside Death Valley in week 11.

I don’t think anyone was expecting Florida’s defense to shut down the No.1 offense in college football, but allowing 52 points and a program high 701 yards of offense is a different story. LSU QB Jayden Daniels put together one of the best performances in college football history, combing for 606 yards of offense and five touchdowns. Daniels became the first player in FBS history to throw for at least 350 yards and rush for at least 200 yards in the same game.
