Florida Gators football continued its winning ways on Saturday with a win over the cellar-dwelling Vanderbilt Commodores. The victory was anything but convincing, leaving many questions for the fanbase after the defense looked about as porous as an ocean sponge again.

In other Gators sports news, the fifth-ranked men’s swimming and diving team finished the fall swimming season with a bang, securing a 521-426 victory over the Auburn Tigers in the Auburn Invitational, which ran from Friday until Sunday. With the swimming portion of the schedule now over for 2020, the divers head to Coral Gables to compete in a three-day diving tournament hosted by the Miami Hurricanes on Dec. 2-4 to wrap up the year.

The No. 10 women’s swimming and diving team also competed in the Auburn Invitational, claiming a 508-421 victory over the Tigers. Much like the men, the women’s swimming season is over and the diving team will head to South Florida for its next and final competition.

The volleyball team also concluded its season yesterday against the Georgia Bulldogs in a back-to-back meet, dropping the Saturday match by a score of 3-1 while bouncing back on Sunday to flip UGA and finish the year with a 3-1 win. Fifth-ranked Florida finishes its SEC-only fall schedule with a 6-2 record and now await the release of the spring slate.
