BATON ROUGE, La. -- Historical rivals LSU and Florida are finally ready to line up -- and still with a lot on the line -- albeit in a different place and some six weeks after they were supposed to meet before Hurricane Matthew blew ashore in early October.Whether either teams offense shows up is another matter. The No. 16 Tigers and 21st-ranked Gators field two of the more suffocating defenses in the Southeastern Conference.Their defense is one of the best in the country, LSU coach Ed Orgeron said of the Gators, calling Floridas Geoff Collins a dynamic defensive coordinator.They pressure the quarterback, and they have a lot of speed, Orgeron said.Florida (7-2, 5-2 SEC), which can win the SEC East Division with a victory on Saturday, enters the game leading the league in pass defense, allowing 155.1 yards per game, and ranks second in total defense (266.8 yards allowed per game). In question, however, is whether the unit has the depth to hold up in Death Valley with at least four defensive starters expected to miss the game with injuries .LSU (6-3, 4-2), which could get a Sugar Bowl bid by winning its last two games, has allowed just 10 touchdowns all season, fewest in the nation, and never more than two TDs in a single game.Only two weeks ago, the Tigers allowed just 10 points to a No. 1 Alabama squad which has averaged 44.7 points in its nine other games.When asked this week if he was eager to prove which team has the best defense, LSU defensive end Arden Key answered, I feel like weve already proved it.Both teams call themselves DBU, because of the NFL prospects they have annually in their respective defensive backfields. Floridas 12 interceptions -- including four by Jalen Tabor -- are tied for second in the SEC, while LSU has nine interceptions, including two each by TreDavious White and Donte Jackson.And both defenses bring heat on QBs. Florida has racked up 27 sacks and LSU 24.LSUs Key, who has nine sacks, has a chance to threaten Tigers single-season record of 12.Im going to try to get that in the Florida game, Key said.---Some other things to watch when Florida visits LSU:QB REUNION: The strength of both defenses makes this game look perilous for both quarterbacks, who began the season as backups. LSUs Danny Etling and Floridas Austin Appleby are former teammates at Purdue who transferred after losing starting jobs with the Boilermakers. A combination of circumstances and their own growth have allowed them to re-emerge. I want to know whos evaluating those quarterbacks at Purdue, Orgeron said. I want to give them a call.CHANGE OF VENUE: This game was supposed to be played Oct. 8 in The Swamp, where Florida is 5-0 this season. After much handwringing , the game was moved to LSU, which refused to give up its previously scheduled Nov. 19 home date, but agreed to buy out its originally schedule opponent, South Alabama. Florida will host LSU the next two years.ROAD WOES: Still looking for a signature road win, Florida coach McElwain is prepared for the worst in Baton Rouge. I dont know how they could call my mother names, McElwain said. My mother is 95 years old. Shes awesome. Shes one of the most loving, caring people in the world. And theyre going to say everything they can about my mother. Thats what its all about. It will be fun. The Gators havent had much fun on the road, losing every tough test away from home in McElwains two-year tenure. They lost at LSU last year and at Tennessee and at Arkansas this season.RUSHING TANDEM: if Florida manages to contain LSU star running back Leonard Fournette, they still have to contend with Derrius Guice. Last week, Guice became the second LSU rusher to surpass 250 yards in a game this season, with 252 at Arkansas . Earlier this season, Fournette set LSUs single-game record with 284 yards against Mississippi .PAIRING DOWN: The Gators opened the season with a four-player rotation at running back. Its basically become a one-man show lately. Jordan Scarlett ran 20 times for a career-high 134 yards against South Carolina last week , clearly moving in front of true freshman Lamical Perine, fumble-prone Mark Thompson and disgruntled backup Jordan Cronkrite. Scarlett has led the team in carries for six consecutive games.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org---AP Sports Writer Mark Long in Gainesville, Florida, contributed to this report.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Kansas City Chiefs had no offensive touchdowns, and their defense was on the field for much of the afternoon.No big deal. They found another way to win -- again.Marcus Peters stripped Kelvin Benjamin with 20 seconds left, Cairo Santos kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired, and the Chiefs overcame a 17-point deficit to top the Carolina Panthers 20-17 on Sunday.The game was tied when Benjamin caught a 14-yard pass from Cam Newton at his own 34. Peters ripped the ball from his arms and returned it to the Carolina 24.I took it from him. It was simple, Peters said.Santos fourth field goal of the day split the uprights, lifting the Chiefs to their fifth straight victory and 17th win in their last 19 games.This group has some character, Kansas City coach Andy Reid said. It doesnt mean you win every game but when you play like this you give yourself an opportunity to win.The Chiefs also put together an impressive rally in a 33-27 victory against San Diego on Sept. 11, erasing a 21-point deficit.Eric Berry provided a big spark, returning an interception 42 yards for a touchdown. Newton made a huge mistake on the play, simply throwing the ball up while under pressure.Alex Smith threw for 178 yards and Spencer Ware ran for 61 yards for the Chiefs, who managed just 256 yards overall. But Kansas Citys defense came up with big plays when needed.Things dont go your way sometimes, Berry said. You have to make them go your way. I knew there would be an opportunity somewhere. We had to make it count.Berrys big play helped the Chiefs (7-2) move into a tie for first place in the AFC West with the idle Oakland Raiders.Newton threw for 261 yards and a touchdown and ran for 54 yards and a score for the Panthers (3-6).The game turned late in the third quarter when Chris Jones sacked Newton for a 12-yard loss on third-and-18 at the Kansas City 28, taking the Panthers out of field goal range. Instead of making it a three-possession game, the Panthers were forced to punt.We cant take back-to-back sacks, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. We cant have two negatives plays like that. You do that and yoou dont give yourselves a chance to win the football game.ddddddddddddThe Chiefs kicked a field goal to make it 17-6 before Berrys interception return and Smiths pass to Travis Kelce for the conversion. Santos third field goal tied it with 4:25 left.We didnt keep the aggression as a whole, Newton said. It starts with me as the leader of the offense to realize that every play counts. ... Its keeping the foot on the pedal and knowing that we have to finish.The Panthers had won two straight and were looking to get back in the playoff hunt, but remain three games behind the division-leading Atlanta Falcons and two games behind Tampa Bay and New Orleans in the NFC South.We have put our backs completely and utterly up against the wall now. There is no room for error, Rivera said.NEWTONS NUMBERSNewton established franchise records for pass completions and touchdowns rushing.Newton passed Jake Delhomme for the most completions in franchise history with 1,581 with a strike to Greg Olsen in the first quarter and DeAngelo Williams with his 47th career TD rushing.ODD STAT OF THE DAYThe Panthers had a 20-play drive in the third quarter that took more than 10 minutes off the clock, but came away with no points.WHAT WAS THATSmith threw a pass late in the fourth quarter that was batted up in the air. He caught the ball, which is legal, but then attempted to throw the ball a second time. At that point flags were flying everywhere and the Chiefs were penalized 5 yards for an illegal second forward pass.INJURIESChiefs: Cornerback Phillip Gaines left with a neck injury in the third quarter.Panthers: Kicker Graham Gano was forced to handle punting duties in the first quarter after Andy Lee injured his hamstring. Ganos first punt since 2010 went for 42 yards but he struggled on trying to pin the Chiefs inside the 20.UP NEXTChiefs: Return home to host another NFC South foe in Tampa Bay next Sunday.Panthers: The Panthers have a quick turnaround, hosting the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night.
