Taking turnovers (and turnovers luck) into account, it's a wonder that LSU didn't win this game more comfortably, but Florida got a return touchdown from Andre Debose and was able to render LSU as ineffective on passing downs as its own offense was. And in the end, whoever lost this game was going to feel like they threw one away.
