Oct. 11 LSU 30, at Florida 27 
And You Care Because … With the game tied in the final minute, a late interception of Jeff Driskel led to a 50-yard Colby Delahoussaye field goal as time expired to give LSU the win. Rough early, the game got stronger as the game went on with neither team ever up by more than one score after Florida took a 17-7 lead early in the second quarter. Kenny Hilliard and Leonard Fournette brought the Tigers back with two short scores, and Travin Dural answered a Florida score – an 11-yard Demarcus Robinson touchdown grab – with an 11-yard touchdown catch with under three minutes to play. A 73-yard pass play to Robinson gave the Gators a perfect chance to take the lead in the final minutes, but the LSU defense held on the goal line, forcing Florida to settle for an 18-yard Francisco Velez field goal to tie it before the wild final 90 seconds.
