Josh Hammond didn’t see too many passes thrown his way the last time Florida and LSU went head to head in the regular season.

He wasn’t targeted a single time, in fact.

The Gators — facing the Tigers in Baton Rouge on Nov. 19, 2016 — had the likes of Antonio Callaway and Tyrie Cleveland lined up on either side of the field, with both players taking the lion’s share of the team’s snaps at receiver.

This time around, however, Callaway and Cleveland won’t be in the mix when UF and LSU match up in Gainesville on Saturday, clearing the way for Hammond and Florida’s other wideouts to see their opportunities increase.
