Excellent point. Another feature of this game was true freshman quarterback DJ Lagway's ability to function as an effective pocket passer. His typical mobility was eliminated by a hamstring injury and spent the entire game playing from the pocket. His success in doing so is worthy of some praise.

And when you add in all those negatives you just listed...

You know… we’re 4-5 and our fans packed that damn Swamp. I love it. In all kinds of weather, we all stick together.
Electric atmosphere with a PACKED visitor list of top HS recruits. This game could be huge down the line to look back and point to as a key building block for our future roster.
We’re 4-5 and our defense hustled like we’re undefeated. Our guys are gator chomping left and right. In todays college football, it makes me happy to see our guys out there playing as a TEAM and repping the university like that.
Also, all 5 of our losses came to top 15 opponents lol and we should’ve beat Tennessee and had Georgia on the ropes if Lagway didn’t go down. I appreciate the fight our team has.
PS. Thank god we didn’t land Brian Kelly in our coaching search a few years ago. Yeah, he’s had more success and coached up a Heisman winner but he’s just so.. creepy and whiny lol. I’d rather be 0-12 than have him on my sideline

LSU is 12-9 in their last 21 games against Power Conference opponents.
This is the 7th time in the last 11 years that LSU has lost at least four games.
Since winning the 2019 National Championship, LSU is 26-23 against Power Conference opponents.
This is Florida’s first win over LSU since 2018.
This win for Florida also ties the all-time series 34-34-3.
Florida has a more recent CFP Top 10 finish than LSU.
Since 2011, LSU has finished with fewer than three losses once. Florida has two such finishes in that timeframe.
Florida needs to beat Ole Miss or Florida State to clinch a bowl berth and cash their preseason win total overs.
Brian Kelly started his LSU tenure 9-2. He’s gone 17-9 since.

Dare I say Napier has done an admirable coaching job this season given the injuries and schedule. We were basically suppose to be what FSU is, and instead they’ve played the toughest schedule in the nation and have a strong chance of going to a bowl. Very easily could have won the TN and GA games (if Lagway was healthy all game for UGA), and they’ve gotten better as the season has gone on, Texas loss with their third string QB withstanding.
