Florida Football Confidence Meter Week 11: LSU

  • Last Season: LSU won 45-35
  • HFH Confidence Meter Preseason: 40%
  • HFH Confidence Meter Last Week: 45%
  • HFH Confidence Meter Presently: 45%

There are a couple of ways to look at LSU:

  1. This is a team that got throttled by FSU, who haven’t looked great since that game
  2. This is a talented team capable of winning any given week

There is a Jekyll and Hyde feel to this team. LSU looked great against Mississippi State, but had to survive against Arkansas.

The run defense for LSU is pedestrian, but Jaydon Daniels is getting more comfortable week after week.

With this game on the road, we still don’t have Florida football favored in this matchup.
