The Good, Bad and Ugly: Why Florida’s shutout of Vandy was a deceptive win

The Gators Wire staff breaks down Florida’s shutout win over Vanderbilt into the Good, Bad and Ugly of the game.

So far in 2021 none of Florida football’s wins have been overly impressive, be it against lesser non-conference foes or its previous victory over the Tennessee Volunteers. Coming into Saturday’s homecoming affair against the Vanderbilt Commodores — the Gators’ favorite homecoming punching bag — UF had lost two games in Southeastern Conference play and was looking for a much-needed win against the lowly ‘Dores.

Florida got the win it needed in shutout fashion, but the overall results were not terribly encouraging for the Gator Nation. Now that we have had a moment to chew on the results, the Gators Wire staff presents its Good, Bad and Ugly from UF’s uninspired win over Vanderbilt. Have a look at our retrospective takes below.
