LSU stuns SEC East ‘shoe-in’ champion No. 6 Florida in The Swamp

Who saw that happening? I know I didn’t. The Tigers responded to their critics Saturday night in resounding fashion, winning 37- 34 in foggy Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The Gators’ almost-automatic kicker Evan McPherson missed a 51-yard field goal as time expired, ending the Gators’ title hopes. The ball sailed through the thick fog and looked good off the foot but wound up wide left. Moments prior to that miss, LSU’s kicker Cade York nailed a 57-yard field goal to give LSU the lead with 23 seconds left in the game.
