Fullback isn't where senior Charles Scott was supposed to be lining up four games into LSU's season.
Yet the preseason All-Southeastern Conference first-team running back selection found himself laying blocks for senior Keiland Williams before being moved back to his natural position against Georgia last week.
Scott responded with 95 yards on 19 carries and scored two touchdowns in the final three minutes of the Tigers' 20-13 win against the Bulldogs.
"He has a very strong game with or without the ball," LSU coach Les Miles said. "When the game is on the line, you can put the ball in his hands. He runs with passion, and he refused to go down on the last play."
The last play was a 33-yard bruising run in which Scott ran through two defenders in the hole at the line of scrimmage and broke another tackle before getting into the end zone for the game-winning score.
Last season, Scott rushed for over 1,000 yards and an SEC-high 18 touchdowns.
Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong said Scott's running style isn't anything the Gators haven't seen already.
"I don't think he really does anything different," Strong said. "He's similar to (Tennessee running back Montario) Hardesty."
Hardesty gashed UF for 96 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in Week 3, though Scott didn't enjoy similar success the last time he faced the Gators.
UF's defense held Scott to 35 yards on 12 carries in a 51-21 win in The Swamp in 2008.
The last time the Gators went to Death Valley, however, then-LSU running back Jacob Hester had his way with UF's defense, going off for 106 yards on 23 carries including two fourth-and-1 conversions on the game's final drive.
He would later cap off that drive by scoring the go-ahead touchdown with just more than one minute remaining to seal the Tigers' 28-24 victory.
