WATCH: Gators block LSU punt after opening drive

The Florida Gators came through strong after the first possession of their early game against the LSU Tigers in Death Valley on Sunday when redshirt senior Jordan Pouncey blocked a punt by Avery Atkins. The block gave the Gators the ball at their own 41-yard line for a tidy starting spot on their first series.

Here is a look at the play from behind the punter, as the wide receiver snuck around LSU’s three-man protection scheme.

Florida subsequently went three-and-out, failing to capitalize on one of its biggest special teams plays this season.
