Let’s start with this – this game is not about the opponent. It’s about whether or not Florida can return to the form we saw when the Gators smacked Tennessee around the Swamp.
And it’s not about Homecoming. It’s about whether you can get 11 players on the field (all with different numbers) and avoid game-changing penalties.
Oh, yeah, it’s about the one game Gator fans feel comfortable enough to mark down as a win even though it’s clear there are no guarantees with this team, even as a massive favorite.
And it is about a Vanderbilt team that has been surprisingly disappointing under Clark Lea this year, a team that desperately needs a win to break a four-game losing streak and climb back into bowl contention.
The Dooley’s Dozen today takes a look at a team that is 2-4 and 0-2 in the SEC, the Vanderbilt Commodores.
