Tyrion-Davis Price carried the weight of Death Valley on his shoulders, rushing for 287 yards and three touchdowns against the Gators. Davis-Price broke the LSU single-game record for rushing yards.
Jaray Jenkins had four receptions for three touchdowns, making the most of every catch. With Kayshon Boutte sidelined due to an ankle injury, Jenkins showcased his talents and played a vital role in the win over the Gators.
Max Johnson did not have a memorable day, but it was efficient. Johnson threw for three touchdowns and 133 yards while completing 14 of 24 pass attempts. Johnson protected the football and ensured no turnovers would spoil a purple and gold victory.
