Things got heated on the field before Saturday’s game between LSU and Florida.

As the teams were warming up about 90 minutes before kickoff in Baton Rouge, a scuffle broke out. It doesn’t seem like any punches were thrown, but there was definitely quite a bit of shoving going on.

Here are two views from the field, including one showing Leonard Fournette getting involved:

And here’s what ESPN showed during College GameDay:

Fournette, LSU’s star running back, was initially ruled out before the game. However, SEC Network reported Fournette was able to convince interim coach Ed Orgeron to let him play after the scuffle.

This is the game that was originally scheduled for Oct. 8 in Gainesville, but was postponed because of Hurricane Matthew and subsequently (and controversially) moved to Baton Rouge.

Florida can clinch an SEC East title with a win. LSU has won three straight in the series and would certainly like to keep its rival out of a trip to Atlanta. A win also boosts the head-coaching candidacy for Orgeron, who is 4-1 since taking over for Les Miles.

We all need a little more Coach O in our lives.
