Florida 37, Vanderbilt 27: Gators get up and go after slow start on road

The Florida Gators and Vanderbilt Commodores staged one of the weirdest halves of college football that has been played early on in Saturday’s meeting in Nashville.

From halftime onward, it was a lot more like a typical game between the Gators and Commodores — and the Gators ended up on top.

Behind sterling efforts from running backs Lamical Perine and Jordan Scarlett and a career day from Feleipe Franks, Florida rallied from a 21-3 hole and scored 21 second-half points to get a 34-27 win over Vanderbilt.
