What you need to know about Florida

Vanderbilt has only played one conference game so far this season. The Commodores were blown out in a 62-0 final at home against Georgia, despite Bulldogs starting quarterback JT Daniels only playing one quarter. They are now tasked with slowing down an angry Florida team on Saturday afternoon, as the Gators are coming off a disappointing loss at Kentucky.

Florida enters this game with the nation's third-best rushing attack, averaging 292.2 rushing yards per game. Quarterback Emory Jones ranks fifth in the SEC with 438 rushing yards and he should have a field day against a Vanderbilt run defense that is No. 112 nationally. The motivated Gators have too much talent for the Commodores to deal with at The Swamp.

Meanwhile, Vanderbilt squeaked by the Connecticut Huskies by less than a field goal, winning 30-28 last week. Wide receiver Will Sheppard was the offensive standout of the game for the Commodores, catching eight passes for two TDs and 119 yards. That receiving effort made it the first game that Sheppard has posted more than 100 yards receiving.

The Commodores are averaging just 16.0 points per game this season, which ranks 126th in the nation. Vanderbilt's defense is giving up 35.0 points per game on average. The Commodores have lost seven straight against Florida, but they covered as 31.5 point underdogs against the Gators last year.
