Game Notes & Quotes & Highlights:
- LSU opened the game with a long TD drive to go up 7-0, then stopped the Gators on their first drive. LSU was then forced to punt to Florida speed racer Scott Simmons, who raced 77 yards to paydirt to tie the game at 7-7.
"We knew he was a threat," said LSU Coach UTVOL54. "But Simmons is by far the most explosive returner we've seen in this stadium in a long time."

- LSU scored a TD with 50 seconds left in the 1st half to go up 14-7, but the fast paced Gator aerial attack quickly marched downfield and notched a late TD to tie the game at 14-14 going into the locker room.

- LSU Defensive Coordinator John Chavis fired up his troops at halftime, and the Tigers defense responded accordingly, stopping the Gators 3 and out on the opening series. Florida punted to LSU WR Mark Ford, who fumbled the kick, but then proceeded to knife his way down the sideline before being tackled inside the 10 yard line, setting up an LSU TD.

- Florida responded accordingly, driving all the way inside the LSU 30 yard line witha nice mix of runs and passes, including using freshman tailback Zach Frye at QB to surprise the Tigers with some speed at the QB spot. However, Gator QB John Brantley forced a throw over the middle which fell right into the hands of LSU MLB Ryan Baker, ending the Gators scoring threat.

- LSU drove the field and kicked a FG to go up 24-14 to end the 3rd quarter. On the next Gators' series, LSU DE Sidell Corley dropped into a zone coverage and stepped in front of a Brantley pass. On the next play, LSU QB Jarrett Lee hit Terance Tolliver on a curl route. Tolliver caught the ball, then got a great downfield block from RB Bo Outlaw which cleared a wide open path to the end zone. LSU lead 31-14, and the LSU student section started its patented "WHO WEARS SHORT JORTS? GATORS WEAR SHORT JORTS" chant.

- "I was really proud of our defense tonight," said Coach UTVOL54. "We gave up a couple of big plays, but for the most part, we were under control, and played our assignments well. After our loss a few weeks ago at Nebraska, most people weren't giving us a chance in this one, but we fought hard. We'll probably be seeing those Gators again down the road, so I'm really glad we didn't have to resort too deep in to our bag of tricks or pull out the secret "backwards lateral statue of liberty play action FB Dive Jet sweep QB option pass" we've been working on. We'll save that for the rematch."
