An LSU fan who usually paints the Tiger eye logo on his body instead painted himself with a Gamecock. They won’t want to come back.

It should be interesting to see which Grier shows up Saturday – the efficient passer of the past five quarters or the imperfect redshirt freshman of the first few games.
Their opponent this week is plagued by an injury at the signal caller position and flying under the radar, but the Missouri Tigers still deserve respect.
That offensive yardage: It was the second-most under coach Les Miles and the most in an SEC game since 1987. “As we keep going, I’m excited”. The Tigers’ defense needs to force turnovers and simply limit the scoring chances for an improving Gators’ offense.
Florida has only beaten the Tigers once in their past five meetings, the most recent win coming in 2012. The Gators lead the SEC in sacks going in, and lived up to their reputation as Lock often times had very little time in a clean pocket. “I don’t care what you say or what anybody says – this will not be a losing locker room ever”.
“We have been (getting better) and it’s disappointing because I thought we were heading in the right direction”, McElwain said. The Gators’ ensuring drive began with 1:16 left and ended on a 20-yard pass from Grier to DeMarcus Robinson to Missouri’s 17 as time expired.
It wasn’t always so easy for the Tigers’ 230-pound sophomore sensation. Now headed on the road for consecutive weekends, the Tigers (4-2, 1-2 SEC) have already lost multiple SEC regular-season games after going 7-1 each of the last two years.
LSU remains last in the SEC and 122nd in the nation in pass offense with 122 yards a game, but that is up 27 yards from 95.5 a game before South Carolina.
Both teams defenses played great in the second quarter, as no points were scored, but opportunities were there as both Mizzou and Florida missed field goals.
Shortly after Fournette said he would auction that jersey, he said he was informed that it was an NCAA violation to do so. “He’s a wild child”. Lock has three touchdowns and no interceptions on such throws, good for a Total QBR of 88. A Florida player tossed Lock to the ground by his jersey, like a rag doll. Maybe having the flu calmed him down a bit against Ole Miss – I don’t know.
The game had a freaky feel. The Gators are coming off a blowout win over #3 Missouri by a 38-10 final score, in a game which saw quarterback Will Grier grow into the starting role as UF is suddenly eyeing the national championship playoffs under head coach Jim McElwain.
There’s been speculation for years that 70-year-old South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier is nearing the end of his usefulness and with the Gamecocks in serious trouble of missing a bowl, this would be a good time to bow out. Eugene Brazley ran for a team-high 98 yards, including a 78-yard touchdown.
Andrew Baggett’s 21-yard field goal with 7:33 remaining in the first quarter gave the Tigers their only points.

Kyle Hendricks and Addison Russell had successful squeeze bunts and Jorge Soler capped a five-run second with a two-run homer, and the Chicago Cubs held off the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3 on Saturday night to even their NL… About 90 minutes later, an LSU Police officer and a state trooper escorted LSU’s cherished runner out of Tiger Stadium through a secret exit. These are pretty much the same players Will Muschamp had. He’s not like majority. Kick-off is set for 6:00 p.m. central time from Athens, Georgia.
