If you were expecting another massive blowout on Saturday, you don’t know your Gator football history. A noon game on the road at Vanderbilt the week after a big win is a classic recipe for the Gators coming out relatively flat, and we certainly saw that on Saturday. The potential for a giant final margin was there given the quality levels of the teams, but the ghost of Jefferson Pilot yet haunts the field in Nashville.
Even so, a good second half made the numbers look better and ensured a comfortable, if not effortless, win.
This review is based on Bill Connelly’s Five Factors of winning, and sacks are counted as pass plays.
