Florida cornerback Jalen Tabor was excited after his team’s SEC East Division-clinching victory over LSU Saturday.
The junior cornerback celebrated by laying in the Tigers’ end zone before grabbing a Gator orange flag and planting it in the purple and gold painted grass, as shown in the video above.
Florida upset the heavily-favored Tigers, 16-10, Saturday, which secured its spot atop the SEC East Division standings and earned an appearance in the SEC Championship Game.
Tabor spoke with the Orlando Sentinel after Saturday’s victory and talked about the importance of winning the division. In true Teez fashion, he didn’t shy away from throwing shade at Tennessee, who Florida finished ahead of despite a 38-28 loss in September.
“That was big man,” Tabor said. “Those guys up the road won the battle but I think we won the war.”
Tabor also spoke about the difficulty of picking up a victory in Tiger Stadium, which has long posed as one of the most difficult venues for opposing teams to play in.
“We won the game in ‘Death Valley,’ where I guess opponents come to die,” Tabor said sarcastically. “I think they’ve got it on the stadium here. I mean, I don’t think a lot of teams won here besides ‘Bama. Maybe Mississippi State two years ago.”
