VIDEO: Leonard Fornette Shoved a Coach During LSU - Florida Pregame Scuffle [UPDATE]
Florida and LSU were originally scheduled to play in early October, but the game was canceled because of Hurricane Matthew. Both schools had problems with the rescheduling negotiations, but they are finally meeting today after buying out non-conference opponents. Before the game the teams got together and had a scuffle on the field during warm-ups. One video appears to show Leonard Fournette – who isn’t playing today – lightly shoving a Florida coach (who was in his face).

UPDATE: Looks like Fournette may play after all.
SEC Nation just reported Fournette was not expected to play - but after being shoved during scuffle, he asked O if he could suit up. #LSU
