Florida in freefall after LSU loss

BATON ROUGE, La. - The Gators (5-5, 3-4 SEC) lost 52-35 against the Tigers (7-3, 5-2 SEC) in Tiger Stadium Nov. 11. With No. 11 Missouri and undefeated No. 4 Florida State on the horizon, Florida has a real chance of finishing the season on a five-game losing streak and going 5-7. If UF were to finish with a losing record for the third season in a row, it would be the first time since Florida achieved three consecutive losing seasons since 1945-1947.
