Florida 49, Vanderbilt 42

Jesus Christ it's fucking VANDERBILT!!! Last week they held undefeated Georgia to 10 points, this week they give up 35 to Vandy in regulation, and another TD in OT. Seemed like they were either scoring or turning the ball over (of 14 drives, 6 TD, 4 TO, 3 punts, and end of half). The defense couldn't stop anything, giving up 361 passing yards on 28/42. To Vanderbilt. WTF.

And the special teams, which had been doing so well of late, missed a short field goal (26 yd) which would have prevented Vandy from ever tying the game; and blew the recovery of an onside kick, which allowed them to score the TD to send it to OT. Not good.

Two other issues - why would you let your #1 cornerback, one of the best players on the team, return punts? Oh, yeah, he broke his ankle on a punt return. Second, where was the crowd noise? Vandy had no trouble getting their plays called, no problems with the play clock, and I don't believe had a false start. The fans need to pick things up, especially for the Commodores (who always play us close).

I'll take the win. But next time, leave out the headache.
