Recent missteps by Georgia, Missouri, and Tennessee have left the Florida Gators (8) as the clear favorite in the SEC East, but possibly their biggest test this season will be Saturday's visit with the LSU Tigers (6).

LSU is trying to keep pace with Texas A&M at the top of the SEC West while also holding off the likes of Alabama and Ole Miss. Florida has a weak schedule after this Saturday, so beating LSU on the road, especially after losing starting quarterback Will Grier, could go a long way in bolstering their playoff case.

Florida head football coach Jim McElwain will start Treon Harris at QB while Grier tries to appeal his NCAA suspension. Harris has a small sample size this year, but what he has been able to do may be exactly what Florida needs to win.

"We were putting things in for him as we kind of go," McElwain said in his weekly press conference. "Going into this, I felt that we've had two really good quarterbacks. Now it's Treon's opportunity to take the reins and run with it. He'll do a great job... Obviously he has a different skill set. He can do some things with his feet that are different."

Though Florida's staunch defense will be in for a long night trying to stop running back Leonard Fournette, the unit will really have to keep an eye out for quarterback Brandon Harris.

"If teams stack up on Fournette, the opportunity to score in the air will be there," LSU head football coach Les Miles said in his weekly press conference. "If there are a lot of guys in the box, there will be the opportunity to make the throw. Brandon is beginning to understand the position. Quarterback is all about control. It is a much more cerebral position."
