Kyle Trask #11 of the Florida Gators celebrates after a game against the Auburn Tigers at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on October 05, 2019 in Gainesville, Florida.

Florida running back Lamical Perine has been held under 70 yards in eight of nine games this season. Vanderbilt has fumbled four times, tying Alabama, Oregon State and Texas State for the fewest in the nation.
