Florida Football: 3 reasons the Gators will upset LSU in Week 7

1. Dan Mullen has Dave Aranda’s number

Dave Aranda is well-known as one of the best defensive coordinators in all of college football. But if one guy has had his number, it’s Dan Mullen.

Mullen has won his last two contests against LSU, including having 215 rushing yards last season, the most against a LSU defense by a team not named Alabama. He also coached Mississippi State to a 37-7 victory in 2017.

Florida’s offense has underwhelmed at points during the season, but they have multitude of weapons that they spread across the field. Kyle Pitts, Florida’s tight end, and Josh Hammond, the Gators’ big-play threat, will both have big games in this one, as Mullen is able to trounce Aranda once again.

These big games and the defense will propel the Gators to victory, 31-27.
