The Florida Gators and LSU Tigers went into Saturday night’s SEC showdown both looking to remain undefeated. When all was said and done, it was the power of Tigers running back Leonard Fournette that took over the day again. Fournette finished with 180 rushing yards and two touchdowns and a fourth quarter touchdown by Trent Domingue was the difference as LSU scored a 35-28 win to remain undefeated for the season.

Florida, who fell to 6-1, had an early 7-0 lead on a touchdown pass from Treon Harris to Jake McGee but LSU scored the next three touchdowns including the two by Fournette. After LSU took a 28-14 lead into the locker room, the Gators responded with two touchdowns in the third quarter to tie the game at 28 before the Domingue touchdown to win it.
Harris, who took over for the suspended Will Grier, went 17-for-32 passing for 271 yards and two touchdowns for the Gators while Kelvin Taylor was held to just 25 yards rushing on 15 carries. Brandon Harris went 13-for-19 for 202 yards and two touchdowns for LSU. The Tigers will play at home against Western Kentucky next week in non-conference play as they improve their playoff standing. The Gators will have the week off before playing Georgia on Oct. 31.
