The biggest challenge of the season thus far for a pair of heated SEC rivals is set for a cool 7 p.m. kickoff Saturday night.

No. 7 Florida (6-0, 3-0) visits No. 5 LSU (5-0, 1-0) in a matchup that has garnered a wide range of trash talk and animosity from a pair of teams and, in particular, fan bases that clearly don't care much for one another.

And Ed Orgeron is set Wednesday for his weekly radio show, at 7 p.m. at T.J. Ribs, in which he'll answer questions from some of those very purple-and-gold faithful.

Don't miss this week's broadcast, as the Tigers' coach touches upon the highly anticipated showdown and updates listeners live and through the airwaves on the status of his team entering the contest.

Listen to the complete replay, and check below for a few of the highlights.

Orgeron quickly alleviated any concerns resulting from young star Derek Stingley Jr.'s absence from practice Thursday.

"Derek will be fine on Saturday — I can promise you that buddy," he answered a fan.

And the the coach went on to say fellow freshman cornerback Cordale Flott may also be available.

"Cordale Flott has made a miraculous comeback," Orgeron joked. "These big games, those guys get well early. So he may be able to play on Saturday night. He may be available, so you may see that combination (with veteran Kristian Fulton in the slot), so that's good news for us."

In fact, the Tigers' defense may be as healthy this weekend as at any other punt this season.

"Rashard Lawrence looked good today," Orgeron said. "Glen Logan looked good. We're gonna see how the week progresses for those guys, but perhaps both of them can play. Obviously Michael Divinity practiced all week, so he should be able to play. K'Lavon Chaisson's healthy, so we should be about as healthy as we've ever been."

Ed Ingram returned to game action this past week for the first time since his 2017.

He played 45 snaps in the 42-6 rout of Utah State and figures to continue to garner more playing time moving forward.

"Having Ed Ingram back helps us a lot," Orgeron said. "It gives us some mobility to move Adrian Magee at left guard or left tackle. I thought Dare Rosenthal played a bunch of snaps and played well. Obviously Lloyd Cushenberry and Damien Lewis are rocks in the middle. And I believe Austin Deculus is getting better every game.

"(The number of players available) is a good problem to have. Having Ed Ingram back brings a pep to the step of the whole team. He's such a great young man. He's a tough offensive lineman. He's a leader for us. I thought he played excellent. And, again, it gives us some flexibility. If we put Ed in the game, Adrian Magee can back up left tackle or right tackle."

A certain Pro Football Hall-of-Famer from West Virginia may be among the high-profile guests on hand to take in the festivities.

Junior tight end Thaddeus Moss said his famous father, former NFL receiver Randy Moss, was traveling for work last weekend during the Tigers' 42-6 defeat of Utah State.

But this week appears to be a different story.

"I think this week is the first time that his family is going to come to see him, so he's all fired up," Orgeron said. "We're just so glad for Thaddeus Moss."

Orgeron certainly didn't downplay the significance of Saturday not only on this season, but on the future.

"We have three official visits — big-time players that can make a difference in our program," the coach said. "We will have our top players from in state and out of state. This will be a who's who of recruiting in college football, and we can't wait to host 'em all."

Several prospects continue to confirm their plans to attend.
