After struggling out of the gates in Nashville, the Florida Gators overcame adversity and regained their composure from a 21-3 first half deficit to Vanderbilt. As expected, the Commodores came out with a valiant effort and played loose against the Gators. Florida meanwhile, didn’t respond particularly the way that maybe they should have with the target on their back. I wouldn’t call the effort lethargic, but the Gators just didn’t execute on either side of the football in the first half.
However, say what you want to about the sloppy start, but this shows me about the will and confidence of this team to not flinch when they got gashed.
