GAINESVILLE, FLA. — The Southeastern Conference postponed Saturday’s game between No. 10 Florida and defending national champion LSU, a day after the Gators had 19 players test positive for COVID-19.
The game was tentatively rescheduled for Dec. 12, the conference’s built-in bye week before its title game. It’s the second SEC game bumped this week, following Missouri-Vanderbilt.
Florida paused team activities Tuesday after learning it had 19 positives and about a dozen more quarantined because of contact tracing. Gators coach Dan Mullen said two assistant coaches also tested positive for COVID-19. Those numbers could increase with Wednesday’s test results.
