The Florida Gators college football team has managed to prevail again, defeated Baton Rouge Louisiana's Tigers with 13 to 3 this past week.
In front of a record breaking crowd of more than 93,000 screaming fans at Tiger Stadium, the No. 1 Florida Gator team that currently sits at 5 and 0 with 3 and 0 for the SEC managed to take down the number 4 team, the LSU Tigers, who are currently sitting at 5 and 1 and 3 and 1 SEC with an end game score of 13 to 3 on Saturday. This managed to extend the longest active winning streak in the nation for a team on the road with fifteen games and running so far. This win by Florida managed to snap the Saturday Night winning streak that the LSU team was maintaining up until now. The Gators managed to hold the Tigers to a mere 162 yards in total offense while playing this week in Baton Rouge.
The senior quarterback, who is Tim Tebow from Jacksonville in Florida managed to complete 11 out of 16 passes, and he threw a touchdown in the team's victory. The junior tight end for the Gators, Aaron Hernandez who is from Bristol in Connecticut managed to lead the receiving corps for the team, and he managed to reel in a total of six receptions for a total of 70 yards. Jeff Demps, a sophomore athlete from Winter Garden in Florida managed to amass a total of 86 yards on a total of 16 carries, which helped to lead Florida on the ground.
It wasn't even until the second quarter that LSU managed to score. A failed conversion during the fourth down with 12:08 remaining during the second quarter allowed LSU to take the ball on their own 20, and then a series of penalties on Florida's behalf allowed the LSU Tigers to advance a total of 77 yards down the field, where they claimed 3 points with a field goal on the behalf of John Jasper.
Luckily, the Gators were able to maintain their defense, keeping LSU at 3. They held the Tigers throughout the next few quarters. During the fourth quarter, and after securing four consecutive first downs, LSU had to turn the ball over to the Gators on downs, and this sealed in the victory of 13 to 3 on the behalf of the Florida Gators.
Florida is working on returning home for a homecoming weekend match in Gainesville. They will be matching up with the Razorbacks from Arkansas on October 17, and they will be playing at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
