There hasn’t been a whole lot of national attention paid to the Florida-LSU game this year. It makes sense even as it is disappointing, because both teams already have two losses.
To the extent anyone has really discussed it, it has been about how Billy Napier and Brian Kelly are linked because of how each was hired. If LSU had offered the job to Napier, he probably would’ve taken it. It’s no smaller a job than UF’s, but it would’ve had some advantages. Napier had already established himself in the state after four years at Louisiana, and LSU is the dominant P5 presence in the state.
