LSU and Florida players and coaches mixed it up before Saturday’s rescheduled SEC game, which had been postponed because of Hurricane Matthew last month. Tempers flared between the annual cross-division rivals, and Fournette, LSU's superstar junior, got involved after shoving Florida assistant coach Torrian Gray.

Videos are not particularly clear on what led to Fournette's shoves.

Fournette appeared to shove Gray twice during the scuffle. The star running back wasn’t expected to play in the game, but that’s when even more drama happened.

Fournette entered the game in the second quarter with the Tigers leading 7-0. 

Like we said, this wasn't your average pregame scuffle.
