GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- No. 7 Florida is heading into a game against No. 5 LSU that will test the Gators in virtually every aspect of the game.

The Tigers feature the nation's No. 1 scoring offense and, playing at home, LSU is like to find some success, even against a very quality Florida defense. That's going to put the onus on Kyle Trask and his skill position players to answer the bell at various points.

So far, the receivers have been doing just that. And opponents have rarely been able to key on any one player.

Opt to take away Van Jefferson? Freddie Swain is waiting to exploit a matchup in the slot. Worried about Trevon Grimes' size? Joshua Hammond has a way of quietly getting open over the middle. Take away a handful of those guys? Someone else is bound to come open.

"You've just got to stay on your toes," Jefferson said. "You’ve got to stay ready so you don’t have to get ready. Every guy is ready to step up when his number is called. Just like coach (Billy Gonzales) said, competitive excellence. When your number is called just make the play."

Already this season seven different players have caught more than 12 passes. Six have eclipsed 160 yards receiving, while nine different players have caught touchdown passes.

The spread-the-wealth, take-what's-open mentality has been exactly what the doctor ordered, particularly as new starting quarterback Kyle Trask's strength has been quickly going through progressions and getting the ball out fast to the open receiver.

In fact, that tendency is likely to put an LSU secondary that has been just OK so far this season to the test on Saturday. The Tigers currently rank 52nd nationally against the pass, giving up about 207 yards per game through the air.

But Florida players aren't looking at the numbers. They know LSU has some great individual players in the secondary.

"They definitely have a really good backend. Definitely a group of veteran guys," receiver Joshua Hammond said. "I know they have the one freshman corner. But everyone else played last year, played a lot of football, they’re LSU. They are going to come out and play man-to-man, that’s what they do.

"So for receivers in general, not just the slot, we’re just going to have to win our one-on-one battles and make the plays when we have the chance to. I think that’s the biggest thing for us. I think we’ll be prepared based on the corners that we have here at practice. I feel like we’ve seen the same type of caliber guys on a day-to-day basis. I think the biggest thing for us is just being able to make those plays when our number is called."

Receiver Tyrie Cleveland echoed that sentiment.

"Their secondary, they have great players in the back end," Cleveland said. "It's an SEC team. Nothing comes easy at this time of the season. We're going into the second (big) game, so you've just got to come in with your 'A' game, prepare the right way, watch film. Just the little details."

So far this season, nobody's really been able to stop Florida's passing attack. The Gators rank 31st nationally in passing, averaging 288 yards per game.

A huge reason for the success? The sheer versatility in the group. Against Kentucky, Jefferson popped off. Last week against Auburn it was Swain's turn, as he racked up six catches for 146 yards and a touchdown.

Depending on how LSU opts to cover things, someone else could be due for a breakout Saturday. So they're all staying ready. And one big key this week is going to be making things happen after the catch. Like Swain did last weekend.

"I think coach (Gonzales) emphasizes YAC -- yards after the catch -- after last season," Jefferson said. "I think Freddie did a great job of that last Saturday. I think that’s something we’ve improved on and that we’ve gotten better at."
