The Florida Gators lost to the LSU Tigers Saturday, their 4th straight loss in the series. The all-time record in the series is now 33-33-3.
Florida started off strong, with Anthony Richardson throwing a 51-yard touchdown pass to put the Gators up 7-0. After that, LSU and the Gators traded scores. With 2:24 left in the first half, LSU went up 28-21 after a Jayden Daniels 54-yard touchdown pass.
Florida would not take the lead again.
The offense made a run in the fourth quarter, sparked by a fantastic Anthony Richardson 81-yard touchdown run worthy of SportsCenter’s Top Ten plays. Ultimately, the defense could not contain the LSU offense. Jason Marshall Jr. had an interception late in the game that would have put the Gators in a position to tie the game. It was called back due to a roughing the passer flag, essentially putting the game to bed.
Here’s how social media reacted to Florida’s 45-35 loss to the LSU Tigers.
Tonight was the 69th meeting between Florida and LSU.
The series record is: 33-33-3
