Five halftime notes: Gators lead at the half but Vandy put up a fight

Florida Gators football faces the Vanderbilt Commodores on the road and after the first half hold a 17-10 lead. Here are five reasons why.

The opening half of the football game between the Florida Gators and the Vanderbilt Commodores did not go quite how UF fans expected, with Vandy leading the game at the end of the first quarter, 10-7, despite Kyle Trask setting a new SEC record with his touchdown throw.

In the second quarter, the two teams traded a pair of punts before Florida’s offense started to click. The Gators tied the game on a field goal with under four minutes left, then took the lead on a fantastic catch by Trevon Grimes to give them a 17-10 lead heading into the halftime locker room.

Now that the first half is complete, let us look at the five major points from the opening thirty minutes.
