Comments
Florida is clearly the favorite in this game. I think they’ll come out a little flat and Vandy has some early game success. However, the depth of Florida will wear down Vandy. Florida is probably going to run, run and run some more against the Commodores. It makes sense for them to do that since the Gator passing attack is shaky. You have to be balanced in your approach against most SEC teams but focusing on the run against Vandy will pay dividends. You should always run the ball in football until your opponent can stop you but then again, the Gators need to work on their passing game. Florida wins handily.
