While watching the Florida-LSU game live, I was mostly relaxed about the proceedings believe it or not. I expected the Gator defense to struggle with the Tigers’ excellent offense, but they recorded two stops (FG attempt, punt) in the first three drives. I figured they’d be able to come up with a couple more later on, and maybe that’d be enough with the Gator offense grinding out long touchdown drive after long touchdown drive.
Instead, the UF defense only got one more stop the rest of the way. Four of the six remaining Tiger drives went five or fewer plays, all of them resulting in touchdowns.
