Upset alert? Goodbye Heisman? Fans, media react to LSU's first-half lead over Florida
LSU came into Gainesville dealing with opt-outs and injuries a week after getting blown out at home by Alabama. Florida would certainly walk all over bowl-banned LSU? Not so fast my friend.
Ed Orgeron’s depleted squad is giving No. 6 Florida all it can handle, and more. The Tigers have picked off Kyle Trask twice, including a pick-6, surely hurting his Heisman Trophy hopes. Trask also fumbled, setting up another Tigers score to make it 24-17 LSU over Florida.
Here’s how social media is reacting:
LSU out there with like 32 guys total….all which still get carded for R rated movies and their giving Florida a game in the Swamp.
Fun game

LSU is horrible. They don’t have any players. Everyone said Florida was going to blow them out in Gainesville. Dan Mullen just isn’t special.

Florida was looking ahead to that SEC Championship game… we’ll see if they can make some second half adjustments. But the defending champs are bringing the fight to the Gators tonight. #UFvsLSU

Potential landmine?
Especially if Mullen has to tell Pitts to go put his pads on tonight. https://t.co/pZrKJJbmw8— Jim Dunaway (@jimdunaway) December 13, 2020
If the @GatorsFB play anything like this next week against @AlabamaFTBL…they’ll get destroyed.

True tonight. But didn’t slow them down earlier in the year. Ironically, those teams were able to game plan for the Gators without Pitts https://t.co/KBCMEX1gb9

I haven’t had fun watching an LSU game this year yet, but this has been pretty damn awesome so far

LSU can play solid defense now? Did Alabama beat them so bad they did a factory reset? #LSUvsUF

Kyle Pitts, if you’re reading this, we miss you.

#Gators' pass catchers are having issues getting open.
This isn't only on Kyle Trask.

Why is Florida’s defense so good statistically one of the best pass rushing teams?
My guess is you sack the QB more when teams have to throw the ball more when they are playing catch-up.#SEC #Florida #LSU
— Hardcore Penn State Football (@HardcorePSUFB) December 13, 2020
LSU retakes the lead. A wide receiver was inexcusably open down the deep right side.
Enough that I began laughing.
— Zach Goodall (@zach_goodall) December 13, 2020
The Ed Orgeron guy can Coach.
I have a feeling LSU comes roaring back next year. This is a skeleton squad giving a fringe playoff team quite a game.

Florida is gonna look like a JV team next week if they can’t even beat sorry ass LSU convincingly

Honestly Florida should just not even bother going to the SEC championship game. Just bow out like Michigan did with Ohio State and FSU did with Clemson. It's just not worth the heartache #Gators

Omg. Laughing so hard my stomach hurts! Fumble recovered by LSU
