Surely, LSU won't drop three rivalry games in a row—will they?

Florida Gators vs LSU Tigers team news & key players
Florida Gators team news
Gators head coach Billy Napier updated reporters during the SEC teleconference on Wednesday, noting that quarterback D.J. Lagway is showing daily progress in practice as he works to recover from a hamstring injury sustained against Georgia. The injury sidelined Lagway for the Texas game last week, but his status remains crucial for LSU, given the Tigers' recent struggles containing mobile quarterbacks. Lagway's ability to play—and especially to run—would likely pose additional challenges for the Tigers’ defense, though his hamstring condition still raises questions about his mobility.
The freshman quarterback took over as the Gators' starter after Graham Mertz suffered a season-ending ACL injury against Tennessee on October 12. So far, Lagway has completed 60.9 percent of his passes, tallying 1,071 yards at an impressive 11.6 yards per attempt, with six touchdowns and five interceptions.
Lagway's primary targets are senior receivers Elijhah Badger (24 catches for 560 yards and two touchdowns) and Chimere Dike (28 catches for 523 yards and two touchdowns). The Gators’ rushing attack is led by freshman Jadan Baugh (89 carries for 411 yards and six touchdowns) and senior Montrell Johnson Jr. (70 carries for 373 yards and four touchdowns).
LSU Tigers team news
The Tigers’ offensive push is directed by junior quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who has amassed 2,866 passing yards, throwing for 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, with a completion rate of 62.7 percent and an average of 7.6 yards per pass. Nussmeier's leading receivers include senior Kyren Lacy (46 receptions for 697 yards and seven touchdowns) and sophomore Aaron Anderson (39 receptions for 641 yards and four touchdowns). On the ground, freshman Caden Durham powers the LSU rushing game with 81 carries, gaining 640 yards and six touchdowns.
