This weekend LSU travels to the Swamp looking to pick up a much-needed victory over an injured Florida Gators team. The Tigers are on a two-game losing and any loss in Conference would kill LSU's chances of making the SEC Championship Game. This weekend's game between LSU and Florida won't be one of the best games in the matchup or even the best games of the weekend but, its still an important game for both sides.

Injuries:
The first round of availability reports come out on Wednesday Night, so we'll get a better idea of who's in or out this weekend. The Tigers were without left guard Garrett Dellinger on Saturday as he underwent Tightrope surgery on his ankle during the Bye Week.
The Florida Gators may be without DJ Lagway as the freshman phenom quarterback has missed time in the last two games as he battles a hamstring injury. If Lagway can't go the Gators are in trouble as Aidan Warner has struggled for Florida.
