The game scheduled for 10/17 has been postponed to 12/12. Prior to cancellation the Gators were an 11.5-point favorite with an O/U of 71.5 points. Florida (2-1) was -435 to win outright, and LSU (1-2) was +335. My prediction would have been a 48-36 victory for the Gators.
The Gators lead the all-time series 33-30-3. The Gators and Tigers first met on 9/25/1937 in Baton Rouge, which was a 0-19 victory for LSU. The last meeting was a 28-42 victory for LSU in Baton Rouge. LSU and Florida have split their games with Dan Mullen at UF.
When these two teams meet again in December, it will be interesting to note which team has made the necessary adjustments. Both of the offenses have been performing well in the passing game, but horribly in the run game. LSU is dead last on third down at 0/10 last week against Missouri and 9/39 overall. Both defenses have been horrible and are not worth describing here. Perhaps a two-week pause in athletic activities will give the Gators time to re-evaluate the defense for Missouri on 10/24 or Georgia on 11/7.
