“I’ll quote coach [Dan] Mullen, ‘Winning is fun,’ So, every time we win it’s fun,” Diabate said. “We’re having fun right now.”
How a team wins matters this time of the season. Top teams not only keep piling up Ws, but also keep improving.
Rarely will Florida (5-1) face a tougher challenge there than noon Saturday at winless Vanderbilt (0-6). The Commodores are 31.5-point underdog seemingly without enough bite to scare Mullen’s squad.

Mullen and his staff are more concerned with the Gators’ development as they push forward, regardless of who lines up against them on Saturdays.
