VANDERBILT COMMODORES

We’re hearing from Gators Breakdown listeners after Florida’s 42-0 win over Vanderbilt.

David Waters joins Gators Breakdown listeners for a chat ahead of the Florida vs Vanderbilt matchup.

After taking the loss to Kentucky last week, Florida hosts Vanderbilt in a game where the Gators should have no issue bouncing back.

Florida head football coach Dan Mullen earned a raise and a contract extension that puts him among the highest-paid in the country.

However, hosting fans for an intra-squad spring football scrimmage seems unwise given all circumstances, including the fact that Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is being used as a large-scale COVID testing and vaccination site.”AdThe NCAA allows 15 practices during the spring, although teams typically use one of those 15 as the spring game. The Gators didn’t have a spring game last year as the onset of the pandemic forced sports into a hiatus.

(Photo byNASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Vanderbilt Commodores will be starting a third different quarterback when they visit No. Two QBs who have started games this season for Vanderbilt are in concussion protocol. Mason said this is similar to his first season at Vanderbilt when he wound up playing four different quarterbacks. Wallace has never started a game in college, though he has played in six games this season coming off the bench. The 6-2, 210-pound Walters has never taken a snap in a college game.
