No. 6 Florida fell 37-34 to unranked LSU on Saturday night in foggy Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Gators kicker Evan McPherson missed a 51-yard field goal as time expired to send his team to their second loss of the season, knocking them out of contention for the College Football Playoff. McPherson's miss came shortly after Tigers kicker Cade York hit a 57-yard field goal with 23 seconds left in the game to give LSU a late lead and its biggest victory of the season.
Florida has nobody to blame but itself. The Gators appeared to have stopped LSU with just over 2 minutes to go, but fourth-year cornerback Marco Wilson was popped for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for throwing LSU tight end Kole Taylor's shoe 20 yards downfield after a third-and-10 stop that would have gotten Florida the ball back. That allowed freshman quarterback Max Johnson to lead his team on a nine-play, 36-yard drive that put York in field goal range.
LSU was up 24-17 at halftime, but Florida came out of the locker room on a mission. Heisman Trophy hopeful Kyle Trask led his offense down the field on a four-play, 75-yard drive that culminated with Trask going over the top for his second touchdown run of the day. The Gators came right back and put together a five-play, 81-yard drive ended with a 9-yard touchdown on a wide receiver screen from Trask to Kadarius Toney to give the Gators the 31-27 lead.
The third quarter surge came after a lackluster half for Florida. Trask threw a pick six to Eli Ricks, a red zone interception to Jay Ward and fumbled late in the first half (which resulted in a field goal) to thwart what should have been a 2-minute drive. Johnson, making his first career start, completed 21 of his 36 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns in the best showing of his young career.
LSU started the game with just 54 scholarship players. It played without star cornerback Derek Stingley and lost multiple players to injuries throughout the game. That lack of depth showed at times. Florida did play without star tight end Kyle Pitts, but he was not the lone reason it lost on Saturday night.
