LSU lost a back-and-forth heartbreaker against Florida 19-27 to out an end to its unbeaten record. 
After coming out to a hot start, LSU failed to do much of anything else the rest of the game. 
With two minutes left in the game and a chance to come back, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow threw his first career interception to Florida defensive back Brad Stewart, who returned it for a touchdown to put the Gators up 27-19. 
Burrow said Stewart was fast and came out of nowhere on the play. 
“I saw him,” Burrow said. “It was man-to-man and he made a great play.”
Florida won the toss and deferred to the second half, but LSU started the game with a bang, with a 38 yard pass from quarterback Joe Burrow to wide receiver Justin Jefferson to start the game. 
The Tigers then went with a series of plays by running backs Nick Brossette and Clyde Edwards-Helaire for a total of 31 yards. 
LSU went 2-for-2 on third downs during the drive, culminating in a four-yard touchdown run by Brossette. 
LSU’s offense stalled after that, mostly due to poor offensive line play. 
LSU’s defense forced Florida to go punt on its first drive.
LSU was driving downfield accompanied by a 16-yard run by Edwards-Helaire before Burrow fumbled on a strip sack to put the Gators on their own 33-yard line. 
“It hurt, but there were a lot of things that went wrong today that we could’ve prevented,” Burrow said. 
The LSU defense wouldn’t let the Gators get past the 50-yard line, including a pass break up by junior cornerback Kristian Fulton and a quarterback hurry by junior nose tackle Breiden Fehoko. 
After being pinned inside its own 15 yard line, Florida held LSU to its first three and out of the day. 
Given a short field, Florida drove 43 yards in nine plays, capping it off with a 1-yard touchdown run. Through those nine plays, the Gators ran the ball eight times, taking advantage of LSU’s crippled pass rush. 
Edwards-Helaire started LSU’s following drive with a big 12-yard run. 
A screen pass to receiver Jonathan Giles and a five-yard run by Edwards-Helaire gave the Tigers another first down. 
A nine-yard pass to receiver Derrick Dillion went just hort of the first down and Burrow busted open for a 21 yard run. Florida’s defense then came up with three straight stops to limit LSU to a field goal. 
Florida wasted no time, going a seven-play, 75-yards touchdown drive. The Gators utilized the option twice, going for gains of seven and 11 yards. A wide open 35-yard pass from quarterback Feleipe Franks to receiver Josh Hammond put the Gators at the 3-yard line. 
Franks capped off the drive with a touchdown pass to receiver Daquon Green in the back of the endzone, giving Florida a 14-10 lead going into halftime. 
Florida came out after halftime with a deep ball from Franks to Hammond again for 49 yards. The Gators were stopped short, when sophomore safety intercepted Franks in the end zone thanks to pressure from Fehoko. 
LSU’s offense failed to convert and was forced to punt near mid field. The Florida returned muffed the punt, which LSU recovered, but the Lanard Fournette was flagged for interference. 
The two teams then traded punts for four drives. 
Giles then returned Florida’s punt for 14 yards to put LSU in Gator territory to start the next drive. After starting with a 14-yard pass to tight end Foster Moreau, the Tigers did not get another first down on the drive.
Kicker Cole Tracy hit a 42-yard field goal to leave LSU trailing 13-14 late in the third quarter. 
Once again, Burrow hit Moreau for a first down on the next drive, it was taken back by a false start penalty and killing the drive. 
LSU started the fourth quarter like they started the first. The Tigers went four plays for 80 yards, all by running back Nick Brossette, to take a 19-14 lead. The two-point conversion fell incomplete in the back of the end zone. 
Brossette ran the ball three times, including gains of 31 and 47. 
“The o-line did a great job on that drive,” Burrow said. “Nick ran the ball well all game.”
Florida came right back with a rushing touchdown of their own to go up 20-19.
“Put it on me,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said. “It’s on me when we lose, it’s on them when we win.”
