This afternoon, it was announced that the Florida Gators will host the LSU Tigers at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 7, in The Swamp. The game will be broadcast on CBS.
I don’t think there was much doubt that this meeting would get the SEC on CBS featured slot, though I heard some rumblings that perhaps Alabama at Texas A&M might supplant it there. I’d have to think that Alabama’s absolute crushing of Vanderbilt and the Aggies’ defensive difficulties helped turn the tide there (pun intended).
October 7 also marks homecoming for the Gators, though not literally as Florida will actually be playing their second home game in a three-game home streak when the Tigers come to town.
