Florida’s homecoming game is nearly upon us as the Gators get set to host fellow Southeastern Conference East Division foe Vanderbilt Commodores in the Swamp for the program’s annual tradition. The two schools are very well acquainted when it comes to homecoming games, as Vanderbilt has served as Florida’s yearly whipping post more times than any other program.
This season’s matchup is not too different than in year’s past — the Gators are good, the Commodores not so much. However, you can never get too confident when it comes to SEC play, even if the numbers are in your favor. Hubris is treated with the same disdain in the conference as it is in ancient mythology.
Below, we have everything you need to know to follow Saturday night’s action as the Gators host the Vanderbilt Commodores in the Swamp with kickoff scheduled for noon EDT.
