Florida will look to send a talented senior class off with a final win at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium as it faces LSU under the lights on Saturday at 7:00 pm ET on ESPN.
It’s a list that includes Heisman Trophy hopeful Kyle Trask, dynamic tight end Kyle Pitts, all-purpose talent Kadarius Toney and wide receiver Trevon Grimes, among others. There’s also a host of draft-eligible players that will be suiting up for the final time in Gainesville.
The end goal for the Gators goes far beyond beating the Tigers on Saturday, though. This is their final tune-up before the SEC Championship Game against Alabama on Dec. 19. If things go as expected, they can assure themselves a College Football Playoff bid with a victory over the Tide in Atlanta.
A voice well known to SEC fans everywhere narrates the Gators’ hype video released on Friday evening, and it’s none other than ESPN and SEC Network host Laura Rutledge, a graduate of the university.
