Games like the one Vanderbilt played at Florida will reveal a lot about a person’s natural inclination towards either optimism or pessimism. If you want positives, the team had one more first down than Florida (19 to 18), had 200 yards of offense in the first half, created two turnovers, and moved the ball inside the Florida 40 5 times. The negatives are losing 42-0, gaining 88 yards of offense in the second half, 3 missed FGs (all 41 yards or under), and allowing 479 yards of offense. Between the two groups of statistics, there is a lot of wiggle room to go point-counterpoint.
