SPORTS NEWS
- ➤ On Saturday, Florida quarterback DJ Lagway threw five interceptions in his first SEC road start at Death Valley as LSU beat the Gators 20—10. His poor performance added to Florida’s four-game losing streak at Death Valley and the team will regroup before their Miami game next Saturday. WRUF
- ➤ Florida football coach Billy Napier stuck with quarterback DJ Lagway after he threw five interceptions against LSU on Sept. 13 — he said he trusted Lagway's decisions — and did not switch him out for freshman Tramell Jones Jr. The Gainesville Sun
- ➤ In 2020, Florida’s cornerback Marco Wilson threw a shoe that led to a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty—this set up LSU’s 57-yard game-winning field goal and abruptly ended the Gators’ playoff run. Five years later, coaches and fans say that single play still shapes discussions about team performance and leadership changes. The Gainesville Sun
- ➤ Florida football coach Billy Napier said defensive lineman Brendan Bett will miss game time after he spat on an opponent during the USF game last week (Bett apologized publicly on social media and his discipline will be handled internally). GatorSports
- ➤ Florida's defense will take on No. 3 LSU as the team prepares for its SEC opener while junior linebacker Jaden Robinson, a Lake City native with strong season stats, readies for a big game. Coach Billy Napier said Robinson's quick instincts are critical—helping the Gators secure stops and build momentum in a loud, hostile setting. WRUF
- ➤ Florida football played No. 4 LSU on Saturday at Tiger Stadium in a pivotal SEC opener as the Gators, still smarting from an upset loss to USF, aimed to rebound with the return of defensive tackle Caleb Banks—a key player while LSU entered the game favored by seven points. GatorSports

A new take on hydration
For those tracking hydration, sodium intake is key. A growing wave of research suggests that optimal health may require sodium levels two to three times higher than traditional guidelines.
That’s where LMNT comes in. This zero-sugar electrolyte mix offers a science-backed boost without the additives. Popular among athletes, intermittent fasters, and wellness-minded parents alike, it's redefining how people stay hydrated.
Try LMNT totally risk-free and get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase. Pro tip: If you don’t like it, they’ll refund your order, no questions asked.
