BATON ROUGE, La. (WGNO) — The No. 20 Florida Gators (4-3) travel to “Death Valley” to face the LSU Tigers (4-3) in Baton Rouge, La., on Saturday morning and came away with a shocking defeat.

LSU was coming off of their second straight Southeastern Conference loss after getting thumped by Kentucky, 42-21 in Lexington last week.

Meanwhile, the Gators had most recently rebounded from their own loss to the Wildcats by blanking Vanderbilt 42-0 last Saturday.

The Tigers are missing more key personnel as LSU head coach Ed Orgeron finds himself inching closer to the hot seat just two years removed from LSU winning the national championship with Joe Burrow at quarterback.
