Gators could lose to Vanderbilt

Look out Florida Gators, Vanderbilt is coming to town. It’s a classic trap game with the Gators coming off a win over their rival Georgia and no expectations for Vandy to compete. All the pressure is on Florida to win this game. Add in Brandon Spikes missing the entire game for his finger pointing incident and the Commodores have a shot to……wait…who am I kidding? The Gators are going to stomp Vandy.

This blog is brought to you by the number 18. Why? Because 18 is the number of times, in a row, that Florida has walked off the field with a win against Vanderbilt. What makes winning 19 any different?

Vanderbilt is dead last (0-5) in the SEC – not just the East, but the entire SEC. The Commodores have only managed to score 39 points offensively during SEC play. Their starting quarterback, Larry Smith, is out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury. The redshirt sophomore will be replaced by Mackenzi Adams. The senior, Adams, was obviously not good enough to start over sophomore Smith, which makes you guess the offense will struggle even more.

So what do the Gators have to worry about? Well, controversy of course. The decision for Spikes to sit out the entire game should ease a lot of questions about character. I’m going to go ahead and predict the “Criticism for the Week” following the Vanderbilt game – Urban Meyer left Tim Tebow in the game too long. Every week it’s something different. Let’s just go ahead and have the discussion now, so next week everything is all cleared up and Florida can prepare to take on the Old Ball Coach and his Gamecocks.
