GAINESVILLE — As Florida’s bus arrived at Tiger Stadium, Florida center Jake Slaughter found out LSU fans are a different breed, especially after the sun goes down in Baton Rouge.

A purple-and-gold brigade armed with empties after a long day of tailgating awaited the Gators during a November 2023 visit.

“I remember we were rolling into the stadium, my first memory of being there in Baton Rouge, there’s fans throwing beer cans at the bus,” Slaughter said this week. “They are a passionate fan base. They get after it.”

The Tigers soon got after the Gators during a 52-35 rout behind a record-setting performance by quarterback Jayden Daniels that helped supercharge his Heisman Trophy campaign.
