SEC commissioner Greg Sankey says of Saturday's postponed matchup between LSU and Florida that "it's important to play that game."
Sankey spoke by phone with broadcasters Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson during CBS' airing of the Tennessee-Texas A&M game and said that the conference is still working to find an acceptable makeup date after postponing the game on Thursday as Hurricane Matthew approached the Florida coast.
"The game needs to be played and we need to work to find a way to do that," Sankey said. "This conference often describes itself as a family. A family has points of tension.
