GAINESVILLE - University of Florida coach Urban Meyer doesn't seem overly concerned that the Gators will be competing against the nation's top-ranked team Saturday.

"I haven't seen the rankings. Someone said they're No. 1 in America," Meyer said. "What [a UF win] would do for the program? I look at it much different. I just think it's a great opportunity to get a SEC win."

While the Tigers arguably boast the best defense in the country, Meyer said he is equally impressed with LSU's offense.

The coach noted similarities in the way the Tigers utilize sophomore WR Trindon Holliday, much like the way the Gators use Percy Harvin and Brandon James.

Holliday holds the LSU record in the 100 meters with a 10.02 time.

"I think they're creative," Meyer said. "The best teams in the country have a little creativity when they need to score points."

WEATHER ISSUES: Thursday's rainy and dreary weather was not very conducive for Florida's practice.

Meyer said the team had to seek shelter in the stadium and was forced a run a walkthrough for part of the practice, limiting the quarterbacks' throwing.

As a result, the Gators will have to work in a quick session today.

"We haven't done that on a Friday, but we're going to come out and throw it before we go on the plane and go to Louisiana," Meyer said.
