Florida Gators Shock LSU Tigers with Stunning SEC Upset
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — In an exciting SEC matchup, the Florida Gators pulled off a stunning upset against the No. 21 LSU Tigers, winning 27-16 at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday. This victory marked Florida’s first win over LSU since 2018, breaking a five-game losing streak in the series that dates back to 1937.
Freshman quarterback DJ Lagway returned to the lineup after a hamstring injury, throwing for 226 yards and one touchdown. He also set up another score with a crucial long completion. Lagway connected with wide receiver Elijhah Badger for a 23-yard touchdown in the first quarter, giving the Gators an early lead. Jadan Baugh sealed the game for Florida with a 55-yard touchdown run with just under four minutes remaining.
The Gators’ defense was instrumental in the win, recording seven sacks on LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Despite LSU outgaining Florida in total yards (382 to 339) and dominating possession (41:13 to Florida’s 18:17), the Gators capitalized on crucial plays, scoring more efficiently on fewer drives. Nussmeier completed 27 of 47 passes for 260 yards, a touchdown, and a fumble.
This win improves Florida’s record to 5-5 and keeps their bowl eligibility hopes alive. The Gators will look to secure their spot with a strong finish to the season, facing tough opponents in the coming weeks. LSU, suffering their third consecutive loss, falls to 6-4, triggering questions about their recent performance and future under head coach Brian Kelly.
Florida’s performance not only showcased their potential but also reinstated confidence in head coach Billy Napier’s program as they strive to build momentum heading into their final games of the season.
