It wasn’t a pretty game, but LSU earned a victory against Florida 17-16 on Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers were able to avenge a close 16-10 loss last season. Even after losing to Troy at home last week, LSU came out motivated and handled its business.
Florida dropped its first conference loss of the season after the offense couldn’t get going versus the Tigers. Coach Jim McElwain met with members of the media after the defeat.
Here is a look at what he had to say:

#Gators coach Jim McElwain: ‘They came in and got after us on the line of scrimmage … the difference in the games was third downs.’

Jim McElwain on final drive: “The sense of urgency, it was pretty obvious we didn’t have it there.”
