The Florida-LSU game has been one of college football’s most compelling rivalries. The schools have met 68 times, and Florida leads the all-time series by just 1 game, 33-32-3. When the Gators and Tigers renew their rivalry Saturday night (7 pm, ESPN), there’s a great chance the game will deliver another classic.

While the series has been defined by close games, the Gators and Tigers have had their fair share of lopsided affairs as well.

Anybody can scan the record book and simply judge blowouts by margin of victory. We dug a bit deeper. Domination isn’t always determined by the final score.

Using a variety of factors — margin, sure, but also yards for/against, etc., — here is Saturday Down South’s list of the 10 biggest blowouts in the history of the LSU vs. Florida series.

10. 1937: LSU 19, Florida 0

Credit the Florida defense for keeping this one from getting too out of hand, but statistically, it was an enormous rout. LSU held the Gators to just 3 first downs and 51 total yards, outgaining Florida by over 200 yards and riding future College Football Hall of Famer Ken Kavanaugh to an easy shutout victory.

9. 1966: Florida 28, LSU 7

Steve Spurrier closed out his Florida career as a player 3-0 against LSU with a huge game, tossing 2 touchdown passes and guiding the Gators to a 21-point win over the Tigers in Baton Rouge. Florida outgained LSU by 225 yards and garnered 15 more first downs, storming to a 21-0 lead at the half and leading 28-0 and pulling their starters before the Tigers managed to get on the board in the fourth quarter.

8. 1985: No. 11 Florida 20, No. 8 LSU 0

The Gators dominated an LSU team picked by the media to win the SEC in front of a sold-out crowd at Tiger Stadium. The shutout loss was only the second for LSU at home in the 1980s (they would not be shut out at home or on the road in the 1980s).  For those obsessed with margin of victory, Florida gained 407 yards to just 135 for LSU, and took a knee at the goalline late to avoid adding insult to injury.

Florida All-American running back Neal Anderson became the Gators’ all-time leading rusher in the win, running for 123 yards on 22 carries. The Gators would finish the year 9-1-1 and first in the SEC for the second consecutive season, but the conference would not award them the championship due to probation. LSU would recover well and go unbeaten through the remainder of the regular season, not losing again until the Liberty Bowl to cap a 9-2-1 season of their own.

7. 1971: No. 16 LSU 48, Florida 7

Charles McClendon’s 10th LSU team was one of his most mystifying — the coach told the Times-Picayune on his retirement that it was “the team he felt should have done more” when he was at LSU. They couldn’t have done more against Doug Dickey’s Gators, routing Florida by 41 points — registering the Tigers’ biggest margin of victory in the series. The Tigers won the Sun Bowl and routed a great Notre Dame team that season, but narrow, one score defeats to Ole Miss and Bear Bryant’s Alabama cost Cholly Mac and the Tigers the SEC Championship.

6. 2001: No. 2 Florida 44, No. 18 LSU 15

In the largest SEC loss of Nick Saban’s illustrious career, the Gators dominated the Tigers. The star of the game was Rex Grossman, who threw for 464 yards and 4 touchdowns in the victory. Tiger Stadium, which was sold out for a 3:30 CBS audience ahead of the game, was empty by the fourtth quarter, with the Gators up 31-9 after 3 quarters. In the buildup to the game, a younger, brasher Nick Saban remarked that “Steve Spurrier’s offense isn’t complicated, and you can stop it if you just play assignment football.” Spurrier took umbrage to the remarks, and the Gators gained a series-high 632 yards on Saban’s defense on the afternoon. Saban took his medicine after the game, calling Grossman “a tremendous quarterback and serious Heisman contender,” while saying that LSU “was outcoached in every possible facet of football.”

Florida would finish the season 10-2, haunted by 2 close losses in what would be Spurrier’s final season at the helm in Gainesville.

5. 2011: No. 1 LSU 41, No. 17 Florida 11

LSU clobbered Florida by 30 points in Baton Rouge on their way to a perfect regular season and the SEC Championship. This was the Tigers’ 3rd-largest margin of victory against UF. LSU led 24-0 and 27-3 before the Gators found the end zone, and Florida never threatened LSU, playing with backup quarterbacks due to an injury to starter John Brantley. The game would have been even more lopsided but for an LSU fake punt touchdown being called back due to a personal foul taunting penalty called on LSU punter Brad Wing.

The fake punt brought the house down in Baton Rouge, generating the game’s loudest roars, a testament to LSU’s complete dominance on the afternoon. The loss remains Florida’s most lopsided in the rivalry this century.

4. 2008: No. 11 Florida 51, No. 4 LSU 21

With College GameDay in town, the Gators scored on the third play from scrimmage when Tim Tebow found Percy Harvin streaking down the sideline.

Florida stormed to a 17-0 lead after a quarter and never trailed, riding 3 Tebow touchdowns (2 passing, 1 rushing) to a 30-point win. That ranks 4th among the Gators’ biggest victory margin over the Tigers.

Brandon Spikes led a dominant performance by Florida’s defense, intercepting 2 passes and returning one for a touchdown to put the game to bed early in the fourth quarter. Spikes booted the ball punter style into the stands after the pick-6, drawing a personal foul penalty, and a lengthy lecture from Florida head coach Urban Meyer. But the Tebow to Harvin connection set the tone, and the win sent Florida on their march to the program’s third and most recent national championship.

3. 2002: No. 18 LSU 36, No. 16 Florida 7

LSU handed Florida its worst loss in Gainesville in over two decades, cruising to a 36-7 win over the Gators in a game that signaled the Gators’ dominance of the series was over with the departure of Tigers killer Steve Spurrier from the Florida sideline. Ron Zook would exact his revenge a year later, but the 2002 game was all LSU, as the Tigers scored in all 3 phases: a Corey Webster interception return, a beautifully executed fake field goal, and a pair of Matt Mauck touchdown passes. Buried by Rex Grossman the season before, LSU and Saban intercepted the Florida All-American 4 times in the 2002 game, easily the worst outing of Grossman’s storied college career.

2. 1996: No. 1 Florida 56, No. 12 LSU 13

No Mercy. That’s how Steve Spurrier played and coached offense.

The Gators had one of their finest offensive performances of their championship season in this blowout — the 2nd-largest in series history.

Danny Wuerffel enjoyed a 300-yard day with 3 TD passes. Ike Hilliard caught 2 TD passes. Reidel Anthony caught the other. Both topped 100 yards receiving. Fred Taylor and Elijah Williams both ran for 100+ yards as the Gators totaled 635 total yards.

LSU star Kevin Faulk ran for a career-best 1,282 yards that season — but just 26 came against the Gators.

1. 1993: No. 5 Florida 58, LSU 3

The worst loss in the history of LSU football saw Florida freshman quarterback Danny Wuerffel throw for 4 touchdowns on just 14 completions as the Gators exploded for 35 second half points to crush the Tigers in Baton Rouge. Florida’s defense, under pressure in the media all week after surrendering 34 points and more than 500 yards to Tennessee in Florida’s previous game, shut down LSU, allowing just 263 total yards and producing 3 turnovers. The win was one of 11 for Spurrier as Florida head coach over LSU, with his lone loss coming to the Tigers in Death Valley in 1997.
