Being the nice guy he is, Tennessee DL Kahlil McKenzie Jr. wished LSU DB Donte Jackson a happy birthday on Twitter. McKenzie also asked Jackson for a favor: Beat Florida.

At 4-2 in conference play, the Gators currently have a one-game lead over the 2-3 Volunteers. If UF and UT were even in the loss column, however, Tennessee’s 38-28 win over Florida on Sept. 24 would give the Vols the advantage in the standings.
Florida and LSU were originally scheduled to play on Oct. 8 in Gainesville, Fla., but the game was rescheduled for Nov. 19 due to Hurricane Matthew and moved to Baton Rouge so that the Tigers would not finish the regular season with three road SEC games (Arkansas, Florida and Texas A&M) in a span of 12 days.
The Gators and Tigers are set for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff on the SEC Network Nov. 19.
