this will be the 40th meeting between these two clubs and the gator lead it 28-9 and a couple of ties four to one the toss they to first so Vandy will receive it’s Josh Allen making a couple of moves out over the 20 yd line think Hamilton uh certainly a leader on that offensive line making the calls we will keep an eye on him Nixon takes the hand off the snap and hands it off to the running back Cas Jackson Garrison he loses about three on the play take a look at our Chevy starting line UPS this commodor offense led by Earl Bennett he has been on a mission 54 receptions on the year n last week up front we told you about Hamilton Hamilton holiday he and Chris Williams are the only guys to have started every game up front for this group Matt pile moves in at Right Guard today we’ll also keep an eye on Elliot Hood At right tackle replacing Bryant Stamper the all SEC performer who was out the remainder of the year after back surgery so a second down 14 situation out of the shotgun here’s Nixon stands in their pass batted down at the line of scrimmage that’ll bring up a third down Chris Nixon has completed 100 out of 188 passes on the year 53% completion percentage averaging about 140 yard a game but coming off that Duke performance where he threw for 250 ran for 150 and of course numbers like that will get you the offensive player of the week just about every time out keep an eye on number 10 Earl Bennett on a third and 14 situation facing the commodor in a four receiver set five man front by the Gators it’s a little delay hand off the gator read it well and stopped it after a two yd pick up and that’ll bring up a fourth down and 11 Jam Jarvis Moss with the stop for Florida as we take a look at that Chevy starting lineup for the Gator mark Thomas 10 tackles against Auburn was a career-high this front four they have been awesome they haven’t needed much help and they’ve allowed these guys to make a ton of tackles Earl ever leads the team BR and Syer is second in tackles in the secondary led by none other the the is blocked the GS will fall on it at the 5 yd line and Dave Archer you said Vanderbilt can not afford to help the Florida Gator and they just did well Florida has a guy come unblocked in the punt protection and it can’t happen Ryan Smith comes off the edge nobody touched him he came in off the Gunner to the outside Vanderbilt did not account for him and really just took the ball off the foot of the punter well this Vanderbilt defense already in a hole now already set up Dave we saw the first three plays from the gator defense and really what they want to do come up and line up and hit you in the mouth and see if you can handle it and vanderville did not handle it in the first three snaps and then they do the same thing to you on special team first block of the year against V’s punter Brett Upson and a bad time with 1309 to go in the first quarter out of a stack D here’s theid wi he’s driving forward inside the five down to the four got maybe a yard and a half on the play Chris leak under Center he has completed 60 almost 62% of his passes on the a closing in on 10,000 career yards trailing Danny worle in that department by a little over 900 yard already owns the records at Florida for completions and attempts Dave and like you said he’s closing in on Danny worford second down and goal from the four out of the shotgun five receiver set Florida loves to spread the field doing it here he use a quarterb keeper chle dancing did he get in yes he did touchdown Florida really a pretty easy call Dave for Chris Lee probably had a check with me at the line of scrimmage and when he saw that he’d spread out this Commodore defense nobody in the middle of the field he just stepped back the simulated pass then kept it through the middle and he’s strong enough in the lower half to get himself in the end zone see nobody in the Box here just get people blocked get a hat on somebody and let Chris we leak use that athleticism to get in the end zone looks like Steve rler is down the starting center for Florida a senior out of Sarasota Florida just one out of seven in the field goal department and a bad snap a b snap throw it in the end zone it’s caugh with a two-point conversion are you serious T Casey the tight end broke off from his protection got in the end zone and beat Joel calwell and Chris Lee takes it in from the four and then the snap was mishandled on the extra point the two-point conversion was then put into effect on the pass so it’s eight nothing and the flag comes in as Josh Allen takes it out over the 25 to the 27 yd line during the return illegal Block in the back number 26 receiving team 10yd penalty first down Marcus Thomas the big defensive lineman for Florida the 63 296 lb senior did not make the trip he was a late scratch I’m told by Florida officials that his status will be addressed at the end of the game interesting pass is caught out on the far side by George Smith give him a gain of nine on the play that is an interesting late development to say the least on that front four good news for Charlie Strong and Greg Madison the co-defensive coordinators is as they’ve been able to rotate six seven guys along that front four so they have developed some dep throughout this season yeah Dave you just kind of reathlete up front second and short good call here for offensive coordinator Ted Kane B just handed off to the right side case Jackson Garrison sworn by a load of white jersey led by Brandon Syler that middle linebacker well Vandy comes out with a really good first play against the man coverage got Chris Nixon in a rhythm got the out route got a nice pickup and you said they put him in a good situation on third down now in short didn’t get anything on the Run play but it’s still run and pass part of the mix but you got to make him take advantage of the passing situations CU they’re going to play Man coverage on the outside opportunities for some plays there’s benett here that’s Ted Kane the offensive coordinator couple of tight ends on a third down and one the hand off goes right Toe Jacks Garrison I don’t think he got it that was a direct snap out of the shotgun to the running back Chris Nixon had split out wide to the right side and Jackson Garris is the only player in the back field just a direct snap from the center to the running back and this Gator defense Rises up and stops the run again Derek Harvey Brandon Syler no place to go they just blew off that Vander offensive line bad snap Brett Upson gets it away it’s a good kick high kick fair catch called for at the 36 yd line by Brandon James so good field position now for the Gator on offense they already lead eight to nothing Steve wrestler who left on the touchdown run by Chris leag is back in at Center number 79 that’s good news for Gator fans out of the shotgun leak will work first down and 10 from the 36 inside hand off Des Shawn wi Deshawn driving out over the 40 good hard running for the senior tailb take a look at our Chevy starting lineups didn’t get to this in the first possession because it didn’t take very long but Dallas baker having another good season 37 catches has a sore shoulder however in the last nine games he does have eight touchdowns up front this is a group that is still uh trying to get it all together last week uran Meyer said uh his team got beat by some quicker defensive HS of Georgia spent some time this week trying to help those tackles out G speed comes in from a corner Blitz that’s the other side the drops Curtis Gatewood will pick up his sixth sack of the season a loss of eight credit speed coming off the edge Dave it screws up the protection and allows Gatewood to get back inside gaming on that side a little twist between the tackle in the end and speed coming off the quarterback spot from his nickel spot created a problem in the protection and Gateway slides through and makes the play now Florida didn’t give up any sacks last week but yet that speed on the by Georgia cause similar problems for this Florida team five receiver set on a third down and 14 and a delay of game coming against the gator so they’ll back them up five more there’s Bruce fow the defensive coordinator [Music] take a look at this Vanderbilt defense quickly of course their front four has gotten better and better led by Curtis Gatewood Chris Booker a couple of good defensive ends the linebackers are good with gol Joyce and bugs and in the secondary Lanford boy he’s a big time safety and he’s just a sophomore out of Tanner Alabama here we go third down now and call it 18 and2 leak stand in that pocket over the middle pass is tough but it’s short by about five yds on Dre Bubba Caldwell picks up his 32nd grab of the Season outstanding catch by Caldwell coming from the slot position re leak looks over there right away it’s a Zone coverage throws the ball over the top of gof outstanding catch by Caldwell but because of the sack by Gatewood third and long situation tough to pick that up so Florida will have to punt it away Eric Wilbur one of the best in the country gets off a high towering kick fair catch called for back at the 10 yd line by Alex Washington again you haven’t had much success do you try to take some chances or just turn out try to find a way to get a first down you got to let Nixon throw the ball on first down gets it out close to the first down marker see where they spot that will be good enough for a first down so well you got to know Dave the strength of the Florida defense is their front seven their ability to get after you against the run the ability to get after your passer so now you got to take IM whether they’re playing a zone or man coverage your athletes are going to be singled on the outside and nobody’s better in the NC than Earl Bennett especially if he’s single that time was a Zone coverage Chris Nixon great decision throw the ball to the outside got the first down once again the gator going today without Marcus Thomas up front the defensive tackle did not make the trip no word on exactly what has happened to Marcus he’s had some issues in the past again who else number 10 Earl Bennett coming off a nine catch 185 yd performance against Duke just last Saturday now the beauty of what Ted Kane does offensive coordinator for Vanderbilt is he moves Earl Bennett around he realizes Earl Bennett’s playmaker out on the perimeter the first pass play you saw Bennett outside catches the hitch route gets the first down this time from the slot singled against Ryan Smith gets the first down on the out R Bennett had a 77 yd touchdown grab last week and he leads the league and catches per game at six going up top pass is caught at the 40 out of bounds he’ll stop at the 34 yd line sha Walker the sophomore who has busted onto the scene the last few weeks with a big time CCH and he beat Reggie Lewis it’s man coverage dve and there’s an opportunity if you can get your quarterback protected to make some plays down the field this is just a fade route from Shawn Walker and Walker’s able to run by Reggie W Lewis for the big throw Earl bidet was in the slot to that side ran the out route probably got a little attention for the secondary a gain of 37 yards the 13th catch of the year for Shawn Walker he had three grabs last Saturday here comes some heat Nick It season will keep it gets to the 30 and it’s stood up by Jarvis Moss with a big hit now anytime you make some plays on a good defense they’re going to dial up some pressure this time Florida comes with a blitz off the lot to the wide side of the field Nixon sees it is able to hit it up in there for a nice pickup and now he keeps it in a manageable call play calling situation for Ted Kan in the offense give him three and a half on the [Applause] carry today’s first and 10 line brought to you by Titan technology go to wv.com to one more top Mak it right up top passes nearly caught good coverage on the far side looking for Marlon white coverage by Ryan Smith good play all the way around oh it’s outstanding coverage by Ryan Smith again they try to catch him with the fade route Florida’s coming with pressure Chris Nixon puts Hiser up the bat outstanding coverage and a ball that Ryan Smith was able to get his hands in there and’ll break up the loop Charlie Strong the co- defensive coordinator on the place Brian Smith of Junior at a California by way of [Applause] Utah Nixon Under Pressure here’s at theing this time by chis Nixon the sophomore quarterback the blz is train mullum coming off the slot Nixon SE and his eyes immediately swivel to Earl B running the slant route that’s the blit adjustment and Reggie Nelson has to save a touchdown Nixon’s eyes immediately saw the blitz coming immediately got to his Blitz bre break off that was Earl Bennett big play that’ll make it first down and 10 from the 13 out of the shotgun the the L hand off Garrison to the touchdown [Applause] what a drive by the commodor and Bobby Johnson’s going to keep his offense on the field Dave and try to match the two-point conversion Hamilton holiday the center coming off on Ray McDonald Big Time block and then Jackson Garrison running through Reggie Nelson at the goal line to get in the end zone and now Chris Nixon trying to dial one up here for the two-point conversion Florida converted on their two-point conversion off a bobbled snap and now it looks as though a time out will be taken we’ll see who signal the timeout timeout flid and the Gators decide that they will take the timeout they only had 10 on the field players step up and make plays Chris Nixon’s read of the blitz was outstanding two-point conversion on the way it’s Nixon works out the shotgun Marin W in motion over the M pass is incom complete batted out of there by Tony Joiner so vanderville getting ready to kick it off hanfeld will send it down to the 5 yd [Applause] line taken by Brandon James out over the 20 to the 26 yd line it was a big touchdown drive that certainly gave VY some confidence after an auspicious uh beginning so the Gaters will work at the 26 yd line out over the 30 yd line when we talked to Iran Meer earlier this week he said Deshawn will be more of a factor in the running game they have had uh I think that’s one area that that’s been they’ve had wide receivers carrying the football quarterbacks carrying the football the one thing they’ve lack is really a consistent tail back to carry the football yeah Dave they’ve had to depend on Chris TBO or Tim TBO to come in the game and run the football from a power concept they’re hoping that DeShaun wi now is healthy enough where he can carry part of that load second down and six little play action to win Le has time going up top pass is knocked away at the last minute down at the 30 yd line looking for Riley Cooper the true freshman out of clear water covered by another true freshman DJ [Music] Moore it’s outstanding coverage by Moore to the outside freshman cornerback working one-on-one to the outside Riley Cooper but look at the position of the corner be able to get his hands in there and keep Cooper from coming and getting the ball over the top nice job by Moore in the coverage third and six situation coming up now for the gamers to Young secondary Dave we talking about six freshman or red shirt freshman playing in the secondary and the experienced guy is Rashard Langford he’s just a sophomore play clock down to two they get the snap away Le Under Pressure being chased he’ll try to get there by way of the ground and he is able to pick up the first down good scrambling ability by Chris Lee well this one of those opportunities for a quarterback to get out on the edge and he just wanted the first down more than Vanderbilt wanted to stop him he skates outside they really have him hemmed in they do a good job of leveraging him right here he turns it up he wants the first down more Gatewood was able to put the pressure on again they’re having a tough time blocking Gatewood on the outside that’s Bruce fer the defensive coordinator says it’s nice to coach a defense that has the kind of speed he’s kind of developed the last couple of years SEC type speed in the def on the defense that time Chris Le able to out run it here’s Deshawn way off the right side breaks a tackle to the 45 to the 46 yd line Deshawn W looking very good today remember he’s had bra knee been battling through that he missed about a game and a half didn’t really start carrying the football till late in the game against Georgia and picked up some big first downs a real big one to help run out the clock boy it’s got to be a breath of fresh air for Urban Meyer to see Deshawn wi running the way he is and know that he doesn’t have to go get his freshman quarterback to execute the power running game that time just the counterplay with DeShawn wi picking up a nice game look at our aand scoreboard Michigan by five over ball stayed at home good catch by J Jal Cornelius put that out pass complete Percy har oh excuse me Percy har number eight what Florida wants to do is a lot of misdirection stuff but it all stems from the running game and and once you get the running game cranked up then you have the ability to do some of the things you just saw we saw Deshawn wi Run come up with a couple of big runs and now the play action the bootle off of it with leak out on the edge to pick up the first down makes it very difficult to defend Harvin’s been bothered by a sprained [Applause] ankle out of the shotgun here’s L out to the 44 yd line Chris Booker makes the stop designed run all the way for Chris Lee was going to fake the hand off to Deshawn wi and then he wanted to get to the outside or to The Tackle Spot on the right but Comm the commodor did a nice job at defend in that area so he followed win into the hole so good job by Vanderbilt to sniff that one out Chris leaks had a pretty good career against the commodor 69 out of 95 throwing the ball 743 yds six touchdowns in three games heon Mo in at tailb back he’ll get the hand off whistles blow Linker a flag I don’t think that play will hold up Chris Booker will make the tackle but I think that that play the whistle blue before the play before the snap false start number 84 offense 5yd penalty still second down so penalties have been an issue for Urban Meyer it has bothered him all week long they’ve even brought in some officials during their practi is something he’s never done before this week especially this late in the season to try to get his team out of this funk but they are dead last in the SEC in penalties yeah averaging over nine a game they are 103d in the NCAA in that department Five receiver set and B go all over it Andre cwell makes the catch Chris Booker saw it coming a gain of give him a yard and a half well you have to be impressed with the two Edge Defenders for vanderbild and how active they are Booker’s going to make the play the screen to Caldwell but Booker coming off the defensive in spot makes the play you called Booker’s name a play before name you called gatewood’s name a number of times already today both guys playing at a high level so third down and a dozen two and a half to go here in the first quarter empty Back Field Le Downs in there again pass dropped at the 30 y Y Line Dallas Baker just dropped it it’s a Zone coverage from Vanderbilt huge hole opens up over the middle good read by Chris leak it looked the ball like the ball sailed a little bit with the Wind on the field there’s some wind on the field looked like the ball sailed a little bit Baker had a tough time judging it and doesn’t make the [Applause] play lot of movement even on the punt team for Florida Alex Washington back to returnity stands at the 10 that’s a tough Sun he’s looking into wer gets the punt away a wobbly kick Washington gets out of the way it rolls down to the one yd line maybe inside the [Applause] one good special teams play by Florida terrain McCollum Downs it at the one yd line a 47 yd kick by Eric w [Applause] wiber so the commodor backed up they’ll actually spot the ball back at the five that’s where it was initially touched by a Defender Nixon bouncing around and gets to the line of scrimmage but they were backed up last time at the 10 yard line Dave and they decided to uh use all 90 yards we talked about execution Chris Nixon got Earl Bennett involved early and often this was an outstanding play here the timing the execution the big play to Walker on the fade and then Jackson Garrison’s going to pound one through the middle for the touchdown the play we don’t see in that package was the read by Chris Dixon against the Zone Earl Bennett as well so outstanding execution by the vanderville offense and now this offense looking at a second and 11 Nixon out of the shotgun will stand right on the goal line they’ll swing it out to the other side nothing doing there the Gators read it and blew it up Brandon Syler led the way for that Gator defensively along with taine McCullum boy Syler is just a you know you hear the term he’s just a baller yeah he’s a heat seeking missile is what he is he just goes to the football and the reason he’s able to go to the football is he gets his fifth tackle of the game already is his front four is so active and athletic that they eat up the five blockers and now Syler can make plays just saw Greg Madison the co- defensive coordinator on the sidelines three man front and a third and long Nixon running here comes that miss you were talking about and he blew up Chris Nixon and that’ll bring up a fourth down a good job of Chris Nixon to buy some time against the three-man rush was able to avoid McDonald and got out to the outside by a little bit more time and uh throw the football away good decision by the Young quarterback McDonald wins inside right now I’m sorry Harvey wins inside right now and then Nixon throws the football away as you saw Siler coming over to make the play the speed of Brandon Syer is impressive Florida has nobody back now all of a sudden Here Comes Brandon James running back to return the punt he’ll stay at the 40 nearly blocked again but Upson gets away a good kick fair catch called for at Midfield under duress Brett Upson does a nice job true freshman out of Griffin Georgia but a short field in store for the Florida Gator it’s called my circle from allel Wireless it lets me call all the people I talk to most of the time for free you know what I’m going to do I’m going to put you in my circle because you are my favorite mascot I didn’t know you’re right over there come on you guys there’s plenty of room for you in my circle where’s your sense of humor that wasn’t very nice you’re still come on give me another chance of course last year nearly took this gator team down they lost in overtime double overtime in Gainesville and of course beat Georgia earlier this season Dallas Baker doesn’t drop this one gets hit hard down at the 27 yd line Jonathan G came in late laid the big hit on Dallas Baker who’s already bothered by a bad shoulder another product of the another product of the pass protection and the Run game as uh Chris Le play action fakes Drew Drew everybody up and then threw in behind the line backers all the linebackers are up tight easy throw for Chris Lee a gain of 23 gives the gator at first and 10 at the 26 yd [Applause] line off the right sidea gets a couple on the play Theo horx makes the stop for Vanderbilt our Gatorade first quarter stats Vanderbilt with 95 yds 90 coming on the touchdown down drive that’s an outstanding job of Vanderbilt Dave hanging in there doing what they need to do when they got the football they have to answer when you turn the football over you got to answer and get a score yourself that’s exactly what Chris Nixon and his offense [Applause] did second and seven here’s a little option to the left side B pitch have to fall back on it at the 35 yd line [Applause] a lost of 12 we talked about the blend of the two quarterbacks Dave and the ability of Chris Chris leak to come out of the game and TBO to come in the game we not seen TBO yet but that’s a play that TBO specializes in the option run and it’s really not something leak wants to do it’s not something he’s really good at and subsequently they get a tip ball good job by vanderbrook yeah dur on speed the freshman his hand on that football here comes some tomore pressure little Zone Blitz Lee throws it pass is caught and fly is down at the line of scrimmage Dallas Baker makes the catch and that is right at the first down marker andil might have been in the neutral zone they were they lot of people around the line of scrimmage Dave looked like they were trying to come to some pressure off sides number two defense penalty’s declined the result of the play is a first down well Dallas Baker is a great outside receiver and does a good job of running the route here pushes the corner off Corner way too far off on the play and Chris Lee did a good job of buying time in the pocket made a good throw to Baker on the outside for the first down Baker the senior at a new Smur of Beach [Applause] [Music] Florida not much happening up the middle maybe a yard or two for Deshawn wi 94 take a look at our Red Zone powered by Honda generators for the ultimate tailgating experience you see what the Gators they got last week against Georgia had two opportunities inside that Red Zone able to pick up a touchdown on the year they have scored a touchdown 66% of the time they have been in that red zone that is the fourth best number in the [Applause] [Music] SEC second down and eight leak to throw in the end zone one open Dallas Baker touchdown Florida his seventh touchdown of the year and that’ll be his ninth touchdown in the last nine and a half games for Mr Baker it’s just good a good job of Baker winning at the line of scrimmage press coverage on the outside against DJ Moore good protection up front but Baker did a good job of beating the bump and run coverage of DJ Moore and a good easy throw when leak side was so open he just floated into his big receiver this time the point after is up and good 17 touchdown passes for Chris leak this season Chris leak has gone the distance to this point for the Gator he is uh six out of eight for 78 yards one touchdown he’s also carried it five times and picked up six yds on the ground Joey ehos to kick it away for Florida it’s a short kick down to the 16 yd line Josh Allen will take it and bring it out close to the 30 yd line and we’ll see if a one loss team is good enough to get to that BCS title game Nixon throws behind George [Music] Smith but Chris Nixon uh the sky the limit for this kid his ability to create outside and then then his ability to throw the football I think it’s one of the great mixes in all of college football and vanderville fans have got to be ecstatic he just a sophomore the chance to him being a Player of the Year type player is still in the mix for this kid Nixon now six out of 10 for 81 yards and having to come in and replace a Jay Cutler is a lot to ask of anybody but he certainly has quieted any of those discussions well he’s com in with his own personality his ability to create things he’s going to burn a timeout here didn’t like the setup he had on the field time out on the field orts kind of the Silent Assassin on the defense but they make up one of the best linebacker tands in the SEC yes they do Dave Baker passes bobbled and I think they well they say it’s a catch they will say it’s a catch on The Far Side by Bennett he might have lost a yard though Ryan Smith on the coverage the last two throws for Chris Nixon have been his two worst of the game it’s because of his footwork you see a flat footed throw to the outside no way to pull your hand down good job of of Benny putting his hands on the ball but it’s a good design to spread the defense out pick out the guy they don’t cover but Chris Nixon didn’t get his speed set to gun that ball out there and get Earl bin and a chance to run with it how much of that has to do with the fact he got hit early in this game well he settled in in that one drive Dave I just think he’s let his feet get a little bit dead on it he will throw it again over the midle pass is caught by George Smith goes backwards a couple of yards Earl effort makes the stop that’ll bring up a third down and about two and a half maybe three this a nice catch by George Smith you got to make some plays for your quarterback when you’re a receiver this ball thrown behind outstanding job of Smith making a play and Syler just missed getting the PA on it by the way that brings up fourth down my mistake there Brandon James back to return the pun Bret Upson it’s a wobbly kick Line Drive James has a chance to dance around and make some people miss and then he gets hit from behind at the 35 yd line return number5 Brandon Bry Brandon Bryant on that special team’s tackle TBO coach has told us what they were hoping to get him more involved in the offense this week they had put together a complete package for him running and throwing inside to Deshawn wi gets maybe a yard and a half Curtis Gatewood with the tackle you look at you look at these two quarterbacks obviously very different quarterbacks but they all bring something they both bring something different to the table and it makes it hard for defensive coordinators to figure out exactly how to stop these guys well TBO has been the Running part of it but I think they’re going to expand his passing attack and I know if I call Tim Chris or one more time his mom’s going to call me [Applause] [Music] so the thr jackonville High scho the left stands in the pocket will throw pass is caught on the far side out to the 39 yd line goes J Cornelius gain of five on the play the Tim tbo’s ability to create is something that makes him special at the size that he is at 6’3 20 25 lb 230 lb his ability to float make people Miss is something people haven’t seen much of him they see him running the football but his ability to create space and throw the football is something else that you’re going to get a chance to see as he becomes the quarterback here Florida he’s looking at a third down and five situation little quarterback keeper he stop sh the first down he’ll be about two yds shy of the first down marker Ray Brown makes the Stop and it’s a nice job of Vanderbilt’s defense understanding that tbo’s in the game and knowing that their pass rush has you have to stay in your lanes because if you create an opening tbo’s going to take off with it they did a real nice job of keeping their Rush lanes and taking away the run for TBO Alex Washington back to receive the punt Eric wil pressure came nearly blocked it is a high kick fair catch called for by Washington and he’ll make it at the 17 yd line and a flag comes in at the last moment right in front of Washington and it could go against Vanderbilt the way the Gators are celebrating seems like more and more of these blocking the backs are coming kick illegal Block in the back number five receiving team by rule the penalty were being forced from the end of the kick first down timeout that was uh not a sound play on special teams by myON Lewis yeah if you’re going to block somebody in the back don’t do it right in front of the official Bobby Johnson all over referee Mark curs he was saying how could there be a block in the back during the return Dave if there wasn’t a return now that’s not my interpretation that’s just what Bobby Johnson was I got got you GL we clarified that passes low and behind Sean Walker because it was hit at the line by Steven Harris but Vandy has been backed up all day long offensively average starting position their own 17 yd line on the other hand Florida their own 48 so the whole game has been played on vy’s end of the field now Chris Nixon just had that ball batted down he’s got to find some throwing lanes and get the ball through that’s a responsibility [Applause] quarterback here’s he sees a big ho off the left side still on his feet and a good open field Tackle by Reggie Nelson or that going have gone for a lot more than the 12 it went for Chris Nixon does a nice job of reading this play has he be able to hand this off or keep it himself how about that hole right there there’s your Lane right there outstanding Lane and Chris Nixon does a good job of running with it after the after the fact y Nixon with 150 yards on the ground last [Applause] week but he did have a subpar game against South Carolina two weeks ago was four 15 through the air couple of interceptions so we responded well on the road at dke pocket is nice passes even better and the catch is superior the Y Line Earl Bennett brought down by Ryan Smith a gain of 19 yds and Earl Bennett working from the slot Chris Nixon watches eyes swivel to the outside’s got Bennett running the corner route versus The Zone in Florida nice job of Bennett getting in that hole then Nixon putting it on the line Earl back today has six catches of those nine completions by Chris ni Nixon Nixon stands in the pocket passes right through the hands of Maron white and nearly picked off Reggie Lewis was on the coverage and he just about had his third interception of the year now if you’re nitpicking from a coaching standpoint Nixon takes his receiver up the field too much with the throw the throw should flatten him towards the quarterback as opposed to taking him up the field and subsequently the receiver laid out and the ball was tipped in the air and almost picked off Lewis the senior out of Jacksonville Florida two interceptions on the a second down and 10 pressure comes passes low and the heat was coming on Nixon Shawn Walker the intended target but Jarvis Moss was right in the face of Nixon well the design of what they’re doing offensively is really good Dave Ted Kane offensive coordinator for Vanderbilt has put a nice game plan together against this great gator defense and Nixon’s got people open he’s just got to set his feet and let it go and know that he’s going to take some shots as he lets the ball go that time he had Walker open underneath Vanderbilt one out of five on third down conversions this afternoon they’re eighth in the league overall this season in third down conversions nothing off the case of jacks Garrison and he is going nowhere Ryan Smith readit and made the stop his fourth tackle of the game really a tough team to screen against you have to set up the screen you see Garrison or Jackson Garrison reach to the outside and the the speed of the Gator defense just won’t allow you to do a slow developing play they get to the football too quickly and this pun is blocked the second of the game by the Gators Reggie Nelson [Applause] there are few players in the country like Reggie Nelson he seems to be everywhere well whenever you see the football you usually see number one and here he is on special teams comes right through the middle unblocked puts his hands on the football and the Gators are in great shape but you said it Dave Nelson is one of those kind of guys that just kind of he’s around the ball all the time another big play and it shows you how much the gator think of their special teams there’s your starting safety starting on your punt return unit that’s his second block of the year for Reggie Nelson and once again a short short field for the Gator Lee back in quarterback pressure comes passes B in the air picked off at the 37 yd line he’ll be tackled at the 39 and a huge break for the Vanderbilt defense defense and flags come in late it is Ray Brown with the interception it’s a hustle play by Gatewood gatewood’s going to come off the edge we’ve talked about how these guys have gotten after the quarterback and again Gatewood creates the opportunity for the interception a jam down the field made Chris leak pull the ball down and scramble to the outside and then the big man comes up with the interception after Gatewood pressures from behind [Applause] for Chris Lee that’s his eighth interception of the year but you have a hard time faulting him on that it was just good defense by Vanderbilt the flag came in late folks for a sideline warning so they will not I thought perhaps it could have been a celebration but it was a sideline warning so no damage done and the commodor have it at the 39 Nixon on a roll out PP fake spins boy what an athlete Nixon still going he’s got some room and the speed of Brian Smith he came out of nowhere to make the tackle on Nixon yeah but how about Nixon’s ability to make this happen it’s again a nice design got the pressure by Harvey he’s going to get in Nixon’s face a nice design Earl B in the flat they wanted to reent it Harvey takes it away and now it’s Nixon trying to create and Ryan Smith flies up The Corner Spot to make the play but Nixon keeping the play alive after a great athletic play by Harvey at the defensive end spot he gained 11 so it’s a first down we approached 5 minutes to go before halftime at a 15 to six Gator Lee Cas Jackson Garrison took a little stutter step and might have missed the hole Tony Joiner brings him down gain of about five that was a Zone play Dave and and uh he just got back to that backside hole but again Florida closes so quickly defensively still a nice pick up on first down they have got some speed on that defense yeah they L what you think is going to be a monster play is a five or six yd [Applause] gain second down and we’ll say four there’s Bennett at the 40 he’ll pick up the first down at the 37 yd line Earl eff makes his te second tackle of the game the I’m sorry Dave the Vandy offensive line is doing a nice job with those four guys up front and giving Chris Nixon an opportunity to get the ball to his playmaker Earl Bennett Ben in the slot he sees the Zone he reads it he hooks up for his quarterback see how quickly the ball got to him that’s a great read That’s understanding between receiver quarterback nice combination there good feel for one [Applause] another for man front out of the shotgun Nixon he’s dropped back at the 45 got the throw they’ll say he’s down they will say he’s down the sack will go to Derek Harvey who continues to impress that is his eighth sack of the season to lead the Southeastern Conference yeah it is talked about how good this offensive Line’s done against Florida but this is just Harvey being physical getting after him using his speed up the field and then he puts his hat in him and pushes him back nice job of Harvey closing Nixon tries to throw it away boy Derek Harvey young man didn’t start playing football till his junior year in high school was a basketball junk he just loved the game but said he finally started to fall out of love with it and wanted to try football something he always wanted to do so his high school coach convinced him to do so the Gators are glad they did J Jackson Carrison a huge hole down to the 32 yd line Reggie Nelson with the [Applause] tackle the reason Vanderbilt’s able to run the football Dave is because they’ve spread the Florida defense with the passing game and now you get the running game benefits they spread out this Florida defense and now he’s up in there for a nice game Jackson Garrison finds the hole we’ve seen Jackson Garrison pop a couple now and it’s because Nixon getting the ball to the outside stretching the Florida defense Jackson Garrison 516 yds this season averaging four yards a carry also has 10 grabs out of the back field [Applause] three-man Rush it’s intercepted at the 21 by Ryan Smith he stepped right in front of Earl Bennett his sixth interception which leads the SEC and it’s came in as the sixth best Interceptor in the country well we talked about as a Young quarterback you got to live with some of the mistakes and and Nixon had made up his mind right at the snap he was going to throw the ball to Earl Bennett and Ryan Smith ran the route better than Earl Bennett ran it outstanding job of making the play he had people open on the other side that he’ made up his mind already that Bennett was going to be his guy and that’s why Ryan Smith has done an outstanding job at corner now six interceptions on the year Nixon’s ninth interception this season and the gator take over at the 21 yd line Chris Le at quarterback pass is caught Andre called well with the grab it’ll be second down and one as we go under two minutes here in the first [Music] [Applause] half to throw over the middle pass is caught that’ll be at first down Caldwell again makes the grab dur on speed nice read by Chris leak again just taking what they’re giving him the v’s playing a Zone throwing the ball underneath just moving to chains and a hurry up mode a four receiver [Applause] set link dancing around passes CAU by calwell coverage by speed again and Andre Bubba Caldwell seems to be recovering quite nicely from the broken leg he suffered last year against Tennessee and Urban Meyer was telling us that just about three or four weeks ago something snapped and he got that confidence back and they are glad to have it [Applause] [Music] is just blown up by Kevin Joyce his third sack of the Year link never saw well you you can count on it when you start to make plays against the defense they’re going to come after you and it’s a nice job a timing up the Blitz by Joyce you see he waited long enough to where protection did not account for him Blitz through that Gap and was able to put a nice hit on the quarterback of eight y on the play timeout taken by Florida with 125 to go before the half Brooks and done I haven’t got the phone call it said I had a couple tickets for me and my wife I thought you were a presenter I thought you presenting an award I wanted to but nobody ever calls Lee will throw pass is caught by Breaker he’s got some running room and then tripped up at the 30 yd line brri Stewart the defense man makes the tackle well downfield inside the 30 well to throw this deep in cut that he gets the baker he’s got to be willing to eat some eats some helmet he does here Chris leak holds on this ball a long time takes a big shot Joyce gets the shot great throw by leak down the field to Baker gain of 26 Le pass is caught again this will be another first down that’ll stop the clock Andre called well with another reception a gain of 11 that’s six grabs here in the first half for Bubba Caldwell boy Chris Le’s doing a nice job of moving in the pocket buying himself a little bit of time letting it go Florida with one timeout left Vanderbilt will burn a timeout [Applause] here luk stands in there stands in there lost it up just over the outstretched hands of Cornelius coverage by Joel Caldwell I really liked I think Chris Le has done a nice job I’ve lik the way he’s run this offense this afternoon I I have too I think he’s done a nice job of buying himself some time in the pocket he’s he’s gotten a lot of people involved and uh they’ve let him throw the ball Dave it’s it’s been all these things that they have not asked him to do a lot of run in the football they’ve asked him to throw it and I think deshun wi is a major far part of that they were able to run the ball early John W took some of the pressure off the quarterback having to run it and he’s been able to distribute the ball thrown it how about this Mississippi State on top of Alabama 24-1 closing in on half time over in tuscal Lee over the middle intercepted by Jonathan G the junior middle linebacker steps right in and snares it out of the air well it’s the instincts of Jonathan gof reading the quarterback Jonathan Goff is going to play in the middle and he’s going to read the quarterback’s eyes he wanted to try to get the ball down the middle on the post route but Goff was reading the quarterback’s eyes all the way and just stepped in front and so often as a quarterback you lose the underneath coverage once you feel like you’ve got them where they’re supposed to be you throw it and the linebackers get out of your out of your vision and Urban Meyer not excited about the fact that his quarterback and I think you jinx him Dave talked about how good he been so far this half he’s not the first guy I’ve had that effect on Nixon with the quarterback keeper Florida does have a timeout but I think that they will everybody here will be just happy to get to the locker room and regroup reassess and figure out what to do in the final two quarters of this one well what a big big play by Jonathan Goff to really keep vanderbild in this football game you give up a touchdown to Florida there and you’re playing catch up all the way but with the Jonathan golf play they’re right in the mix as you go to the second half like they’ve been all year long Dave and that will do it Vanderbilt once again putting up a pretty good fight he’s been putting some really tough spots but boy they’ve responded they have we uh got pretty good pressure couple times we uh did not get pressure they were able to pick up some long third Downs on us but uh it’s just uh you know a game we have to play you got to get in there and try to put pressure on Chris leaker or he’ll kill you you got that rhythm going on offense at one drive but you haven’t been able to get it other than that one drive well we made a mistake on the on the intercep but uh we got to do better on the punt team that’s the kill that’s the what’s killing us right now all right thanks we appreciate it we talked about them only having 14 yards rushing at the half Ryan hanfelt to kick it away for Vanderbilt it’ll sail down to the three yd line taken there by Brandon James who is hit at the 21 and that’s where the gator will start their first offensive possession of the second half and you know Urban Meyer told us it’s just a feel thing with him there is no set plan in terms of Tim TBO getting in [Applause] there fourman front in motion goes Caldwell hand off left side to Shawn W wi has a big hole he’s to the 33 yd line but a flag comes in back at the 25 in front of the Gator bench Ryan Hamilton had to be the man to run over there try to slow down the 240lb tail back holding number 70 offense 10yd penalty still first down that’s the Freshman Ronnie Wilson who got the start today over Jim who’s a little bangged up just got a little misdirection play to Deshawn win little delay in the back field but Wilson got hold of it a black Jersey and it’ll go back 10 yards it’s a spot foul so it’s not as bad as it could have been and this is part of what’s causing urban Meer more heartburn than anything else is the fact that they get an explosion play or something a big run and then it’s called back because of penalty so third penalty of the day for [Applause] Florida here’s cwell he’ll take it around the corner get back to the original line of scrimmage maybe a yard or two more out to the 22 yd line Josh Allen Josh Allen makes the tackle for the commodor something we haven’t seen a lot of as the wide receivers getting involved with the running game Caldwell good block there by Deshawn wi to get out in front of Caldwell on the run I think the reason we haven’t seen as much on the edge is because of the way Gatewood and Booker have played for Vanderbilt Deshawn Wi on the afternoon rushing the football eight carries 28 yds L makes a man miss callwell to the 30 he might be very close to that first down we’ll see where the spot is the spot looks like he might have picked it up Jonathan G makes the stop but I think that’s good enough for a first down Mark curls will stop the clock and he will want to see the chains it’s an opportunity for Langford to make a tackle short of the first down but credit Florida for making the play leak gets the ball out quickly and now it’s about making people Miss Caldwell does a good job of making Langford Miss he doesn’t miss many third on this team in tackles leads all defensive backs for this team we heard Bobby Johnson and Bruce Fowler the defensive coordinator at Vander talk about Florida’s movement how they just spread it out guys are moving everywhere formations are different but they basically run in the same kind of plays but they try to fool you with motion have you sensed that Vanderbilt has adapted to that and played that pretty well well with V’s doing is they’re not playing a lot of man coverage so they’re just sorting it out with their Zone they’ll let they’ll let Florida do all the rendo dressing they want to do and that’s what it is but ultimately they’re just going to settle into where they’re supposed to play defensively and make the plays there is Bruce fer May if you get a team that plays a lot of man coverage Dave and wants to come after you with a lot of Blitz that mix Direction and a change of formation can really get you screwed up in your defensive calls you saw those two scores Mississippi State leading Alabama at the half 24-10 in Georgia and Kentucky approaching halftime it’s 14 to10 Bulldogs over the wild cats so interesting games in the SEC this afternoon this included L over the middle now is B with the catch and his knee will hit the ground at the 47 yd line that’ll be a first down Josh Allen will make the tackle a gain of 16 on the play but a nice throw and catch well again it’s the play action fake that’s going to freeze the linebackers Goff steps up Joyce steps up so there’s nobody underneath the short post route by Baker just an easy throw for leak to get the ball to Baker because there’s nobody to throw the ball over or between both Joyce and gof step up to stop the run I mean if the quarterback is on with that throw there’s really nothing a Defender can do about it right no he’s hoping on underneath coverage to sink and get a hand on the ball Here Comes The Blitz the gator pick it up Baker again and the first now Dallas Baker starting to catch him those two have made a ton of catches this season they came in with 68 receptions between the two of them and it’s about protection Dave you got to execute the throw you got to protect and nice job of Deshawn W that time sliding over picking up a blitzing Joyce coming off the edge Kevin Joyce who’s had some success coming from his linebacker spot picked up that time by the running back Dallas Baker by the way now six catches 106 yds already cwell 7 for [Applause] [Music] 65 here’s W he’s tripped Up by Chris Booker the senior out of Brandon Mississippi well I don’t think you could say enough about B about Booker and Gatewood and their ability to play outside outstanding job of playing off the block and getting to Deshawn win before he could really get third and [Applause] Florida only three seniors on this defense Dave well they play with a lot of confidence you talked about that earlier third down and short Tim TBO comes off the bench to run the offense he’ll line up in the shotgun they’ll work off the right side and is stopped Jonathan G says no way not here not on my watch whoa what a collision those are a couple of pck boys going no nose to nose now gof steps up and makes the tackle but you’re going to have to credit Joyce and Booker eating up the blocks on that side to allow Goff to scrape and make the play Booker knives to the inside as does Joyce takes away the blocking scheme and then Goff eats up TBO On The Run well on a fourth down and three Chris Lee comes back into the game and the gator will go for it and why not they’re in kind of no man’s land at the 46 and whistles blow there’s two seconds on the play clock and a timeout taken by Florida right before the snap yeah you got a late timeout time out Florida first charge time and Florida decides after the time out that they will punt it away do you think it’s a good decision I think it’s a good decision too early in the game to go here you don’t want from Florida’s perspective you don’t want to give Vander to Breath of [Applause] Life and flags come down again and a good thing because it was a shank punt into the stance before the snap false start number nine offense 5yd penalty still fourth down so that’ll just back him up right to Midfield giving Eric Wilbur a little bit more of an opportunity Wilbur’s had one punt block this season of course that came against alurn in a crucial situation that the Tigers recovered for a touchdown another wobbly low kick hits it the 20 fielded by Washington probably a good thing that looked like it might have hit a Commodore in the foot well that’s a nice play there by Washington couldn’t tell if it hit a player but he wasn’t taking any any chances nice play 49 yards on the ground today by this vandero offense and you know it’s the front seven we keep hearing it the front seven this and that I like to get your your questions after this play Nixon pass is caught out over the 30 to Marlin White what this FL is it just as simple as Team Speed well that’s a major part of it Dave when you can run you got athletes as big as Florida does that can run to the football uh they pursue so well and they read things they’re instinctual players but I think their front four is so athletic that they eat up the five offensive linemen and extra back to block and now Syler and Everett are able to make plays they’re just heat seeking missiles that go to the ball one of the defensive linemen not here today Marcus Thomas didn’t travel with the team it’s Jared Hawkins has some room Hawkins to Midfield he’s their big play man on the ground and he comes up huge again Hawkins the red shirt freshman averaging almost eight yards a carry this year and that number will go up well it’s taking advantage of the athleticism we talked about how these ends like to get up field and get after you good job of getting Hawkins back to the inside On The Run play and Florida has to Rally to save a touchdown okay I might have jinxed Chris leak earlier but you just jinxed their defense I did okay front seven that one goes on you 106 to go in the third quarter in Vanderbilt just outside the 30yd line Nixon little quarterback draw swallowed up Jarvis moss and Nixon never had a chance yeah Jarvis Moss doesn’t stay jinxed for very long comes off the edge this was a designed quarterback Drive dra he had no throw option just a just an athletic play on the edge to your right side of the screen he’s just going to bull rush through and not a good job of taking the defensive end up the field what you wanted to do there at tackle is try to run run him up the field give Nixon that or yeah give Nixon that Running Room to the inside just to follow up that story about Marcus Thomas did not travel with the team uh word is from the gator staff is that they will address that situation after this contest so we don’t know the reason he’s not with the club right now officially George Smith knocked out of Bounds at the 30yd line closer to the 31 it’s a nice quick decision by Chris Nixon to get the ball to the outside and this replaces this is replaces a run a quick throw to the [Music] outside today’s first anent line is brought to you by Titan technology Partners go to sv.com to learn more about how tit makes it right third and eight Earl Bennett number 10 is in the slot to the top of your [Applause] screen Nixon looking for Washington as it picked off no could have been intercepted by Tony Joiner instead it’ll bring up a fourth down situation and here comes Bryant Han the sophomore from right here in Nashville late throw over the middle by Nixon can’t make this mistake there’s too many defenders in the middle of the field he wanted Bennett Bennett was lined up in the slot this was just an air mail throw to Walker but Bennett was lined up in the slot Ryan Smith another outstanding job one-on-one coverage against Bennett with the wind at his back it’s somewhat swirling but right now it’s kind of at his back for Bryant hanfeld who will kick for 47 it is on the way and it is is wide to the left so hanfelt now on the year eight out of 15 the SEC Championship game December 2 in Atlanta Georgia who will get there well Flor is certainly the destiny in their hands in Arkansas the same can be said for them out of the West link to throw on the Run Dallas Baker wide open inside Vanderbilt territory down to the 41 yd line GF finally makes the tackle but Dallas baker having a huge day seven catches now for 135 yards Florida comes out in a conventional set this time with two wide receivers a tight end and two backs and they fake the counter play and run the bootleg and Baker runs A Little Wheel route out to the out and then up the sideline outstanding job of leak getting him the football let’s check in with Dave Baker you know Dallas Baker you know he gets that hand uh hand eye coordination it’s all that Nintendo he plays remember we did the story yes that’s right plays himself all the time and Dallas Baker wore out Dave Baker L going up top looking for six incomplete and flags come in Rashard Langford was down there covering and yes he made some comment uh contact before the ball got there give it to him well it’s all again about play action fake here leak does a good job in the play action pass interference number 33 defense 15 yd penalty first down you get a you aggressive safety like Langford you try to get him to bite up on run good play action fake he just stuttered his feet just a count and that’s all it took for calwell to get in behind and now he’s he’s in a bad position just trying to prevent the touchdown almost willing to give up the penalty to make sure that they don’t score the touchdown yeah I mean when you look at it second look probably not a bad penalty to take 2 yd it only moves it to the 26 yd [Music] line Baker in [Music] [Applause] motion Deshawn wi off the right side breaks a couple of tackles down the 5 yd line G finally brings him down it’ll be first and goal for the Gator a run of 202 yards on the play well something Florida has not been able to do is is get the edge blocked consistently and this time they do bottom your screen Booker knife back to the inside a broken tackle there and a good job watch wind R he runs through the tackle there and gof has to come over to save the touchdown but they did a good job of getting the edge block and getting Deshawn wi down the [Music] sideline Chris Le keeps it himself touchdown Florida his second rushing touchdown of the afternoon he went in untouched well it’s about Florida spreading you out and when you get close to the goal line all Chris leak is looking for is do I have enough hats to get on their body and as you can see there’s not enough people in the middle only four Defenders five people to block four and Chris leak was able to sort it out a little fake of the pass but it was run all the way point after is up and it is good Florida can hold on here and will Louisville jump Florida in the BCF standings a lot to talk about and think about as we approach the final month of the football season Josh Allen will take this kick off and get lit up right at the 24 yd line everybody gets up the SEC Nixon looking for the fly pattern looking for Earl Bennett coverage over there by Ryan Smith and you’ve you’ve mentioned it a couple of times you Bennett’s had a couple of grabs but Ryan Smith has done a good job on him today boy he’s been all over him it’s been a nice match up two great athletes going one on one Ryan Smith five tackles today he’s blocked the punt he has an interception he’s knocked the ball down so he’s had his hands full though Earl Bennett a heck of a player that time just the quarterback and the receiver not sure where one another is going to be and that’s why that ball was [Applause] overthrown Bennett this time makes the catch at the 30 balls forward to the 312 yd line and it’s Ryan Smith on the coverage now if you’re Florida do you do you mind Earl Bennett picking up those catching that ball five yards from the line of scrimmage no because especially in that coverage if it had been man coverage you don’t want him to complete at all but in zone coverage that’s what they want they tackle it for a 5 yard gain and and this is where Vanderbilt has struggled to finish football games as they have had a tough time converting on third down in the second half they’re looking at a third down and we’ll call it four Nixon po out options he has [Applause] offensively stands in there all day and Wasington was hit over the middle no flag I’m a little shocked at that Tony Joiner on the coverage it looked as though that might have been a little early hard to tell though well the ball was thrown High Nixon wanted to go down the field to Bennett again he was covered by Ryan Smith and then Joiner got in right as the ball B got there I think because the ball was so high they’re probably not going to give you if the ball been down he might have had an opportunity to draw a flag there up bus it away a knuckle ball coming the way of Brandon James and he has trouble Fielding it and he falls back at the 24 I knew that was going to be tough that came out of there like a Phil nro knuckle ball well Chris leak today on the afternoon has had a pretty good day with a couple of rushing touchdowns and he has completed 15 out of 20 passes well Chris has Chris has done an outstanding job when he’s had a chance to carry the ball there but he really wants to buy himself some time he’s only run the ball a few times he’s done a good job of buying himself some time here on the bootleg getting the ball to Dallas Baker Baker’s been outstanding but he’s had two quarterback draws for touchdowns and really it’s been what he’s done throwing the ball Dave he’s done a good job of finding the zones and the man coverage matchups see those numbers 15 out of 22 for Le this patch caught on the far side not much happening tried to set up a little Onan screen out there but Kenneth tues make the cat makes the catch it’s about five and a half on the play this Florida offense it seems like everything goes off of a playaction fake and they do an outstanding job of spreading you with the receiver but they lock six or seven Defenders to the inside to stop the run and then they’re able to throw the ball to the outside and get those one-on-one matchups we haven’t seen a whole lot of Percy har the true freshman Speedster today that bad angle must be bothering him pass is caught at the 40 yd line and then J Cornelius will fall forward out over the 45 to the 47 Shard Langford finally brings him down and cornelus slow to get up that’s a 19 yd pickup for the Gator offense well you really start to feel the flow of the game starting to go uh Florida’s way they they’re start the the play calling has been outstanding the last two series of downs and they’re spreading the football around getting a lot of people involved and it it almost feels as though vy’s defense starting to get worn down a little bit 15 first downs in the game now for Florida play action down go number [Applause] 4 whenever you make some plays on a defense expect them to come after you and when you got a guy like Jonathan Goff 6’4 240lb linebacker he’s going to be a major part of the mix when they get after you nice job of blitzing straight through the middle beats the fullback block and gets the sack golf a tackles an interception and a sack today as a team VY has three sacks this afternoon Florida had given up just 13 sacks all season coming into this one fourth best in the [Applause] SEC and trouble down again this time it’s Marcus bus strong side linebacker picks up the sack this second of the year Well Vanderbilt could talk enough about their three linebackers Joyce bugs Goff and they have all showed up to play today this time bugs rushing gets in and makes the tackle on leak but it’s been about those two those three guys flowing behind two active defensive ends that’s allowed Vandy to be be a major factor in this game it’s now third down at 19 fourman Rush luk being chased out of the pocket by gatew he’ll throw it out of bounds boy Vandy a nice job defensively on that possession getting after the quarterback now coming into this game you knew that this this Vanderbilt defense had kept Vandy in a lot of games they’ve been in every football game they played and they’ve done an outstanding job again today against a very good Florida offense well this Bruce Fowler defense giving up just over 20 points a game which is the best points per game average since the [Music] 97 this punt low line drive but he gets a great gator bounce again Wilbur I’m not going to they may not look good but I’m going to stop questioning those punts because they seem to always be effective for Eric Wilbur a 45 yd kick for number 10 well during the first half we asked this Tex to win trivia challenge question who holds the Florida record for lowest career interception percentage well it’s Chris leak but that number is sleeping a little bit with a couple of ints today but nonetheless Chris Lee leads that group we gave you Rex Gman Danny worle Boy Rex grman how’s he’s having a heck of a year in Chicago those are impressive names and impressive numbers because all those guys played the majority of their careers here’s Nixon he’ll stand in the pocket he has been behind his receivers over that middle quite a bit today Brian Anderson at a Roswell Georgia the intended target how about Ball State giving Michigan a little run we look at our NCAA scores and Maryland on top of Clemson in the fourth well I can’t I cannot figure out the ACC and Fs I mean no way do I think FSU is going to be Virginia by 33 Mississippi state Alabama just put a field goal on the board and Kentucky still in it up in [Music] Lexington pass is caught at the 21 yd line that goes to Marlon white and when when you’re looking now 315 to go in this game roughly in the third quarter what does FY need to start doing well I like what they’re doing Dave they’re they’re throwing the short passing game but what when you throw short passes you have to convert on third down another third down situation here and it’s really been the ailles Hill throughout the year when they’ve lost football games it’s been their inability to move the chains in the second [Applause] half they’re looking at a third down and six Gator will pack the box on this one will fall off Nixon tries to run for it no chance no chance the gator front four does the job again Moss with the tackle his fifth and working a two-man game with his receivers to the left side Bennett was part of that mix to his left side Bennett is going to hook up and he’s there but Nixon thinks he sees a hole and we talked about how quickly this group closes on the football in the front four it looks like there’s a hole but there’s not one well Gator have block two pts already this time not a heavy rush and Upson able to get away a good high kick James Fields it at the 30 looking for some room he’s got a little bit here’s James he’s to the 40 and now with a 37 yd line DJ DJ Moore finally brings him down and the biggest sign for urban my is there no flags on the field Brandon James has had two putt return for touchdowns brought back he had a big return last week against Georgia brought back because of penalty no laundry on the field this time James just 57 180 lbs I think he’s a guy that as as his career goes along Urban Meyer’s going to find a way to get him in the offenses too Dave Tim TBO will probably be looking for him quite a bit over the next few years as Mr TBO comes back on the field first and 10 Gator another short field for Florida from the 36 of vanderville TBO to throw lost it up out of bounds and in complete it’ll bring up second down and 10 coming into this game TBO just 10 out of 14 through the air but rushing the football he is second on this team in rushing yardage and you see where he Stacks up against top 25 teams against other quarterbacks in the country his 4.3 average is better than Bernard Jackson who we saw against Georgia had a heck of a game and then there’s criis chis Nixon at 3.2 but TBO the best against top 25 competition he’s really been their their answer as far as a power running game [Music] goes well you’re 63 230 you add a little bit of [Music] power T he’s got some room in the corner run out of Bounds at the 11 yd line by Joel calwell oh we talked about with TBO is the fact that he is a tremendous athlete not just power not just big he has the ability to run now and he makes people Miss Boy Get Ready Get Ready SEC this is something you’re going to see a lot of over the next couple years Teo in high school ran for 3100 yds and 63 touchdowns he threw for nearly 10,000 yards and 95 touchdown passes inside hand off going [Applause] [Music] nowhere those numbers 95 touchdown passes 63 rushing touchdowns in his high school career that’s a joke yeah take a look at the Red Zone powered by Honda generators for the ultimate tailgating experience so on the Year this season the Vanderbilt defense has done a nice job in terms of stopping teams uh getting touchdowns 13 TDS and 32 chances that’s that’s outstanding that’s what you want a defense that can rise up and make plays in The Red [Applause] Zone not much happening on that play Big stop by Steven Stone came in to bring down TBO I really think as TBO learns to play quarterback in this league he’s going to find that he’s going to need to get on the ground a little bit more and I think Urban Meyer is going to have to be guarded about how much he’s willing to run his big quarterback up in the line because you line up every week in line up against these defenses in the secc you’re going to take some punishment third down and 11o to the end zone knocked away at the last moment by Josh Allen looking for Dallas Baker that’ll bring up a fourth down situation yeah that’s a nice play by Josh Allen oneon-one only 59 working against Baker at 6′ three it’s a good throw by TBO put your big receiver up up to bat and Allen does a good job look at him look back watch get the hand on the ball Baker never gives up on it though he almost made the catch on the back end field goals have been a major issue for the Gators this year Chris from 29 Ys gets it to go down in the crowd the Gator fans erupt pin won the battle to retain his job after a one for seven start he was 0 for six from 30 yds and Beyond that’ll stay the same but the 29 y goes through the uprights yeah daveid looks like a troubled Florida Career for Marcus Thomas is over he was suspended for the first game this season he came back for Tennessee then he was suspended for two other games we found out shortly after kickoff today that he did not make the trip uh to Gainesville we’ve just uh been handed a statement from coach Urban Meyer uh that says quote Marcus did not meet his responsibilities and obligations to remain on the team end quote a short one- sentence statement from coach irvan Meyer that indicates Marcus Thomas is off of the Florida football team I think Urban Meyer had given Marcus Thomas ample opportunity to be a member of this club I don’t know the situation but certainly Urban Meyer is uh a guy that has a set of rules and if you break him you’re going to pay the consequences Alex Washington to the 25 and he’s ha tied there 25 to6 Florida out in front this could be the last play of the first quarter as soon as they set the ball ready for play the clock will start with 7 seconds left that should be 25-6 the Gators in front VY looking at first down and 10 from the 26 yd line [Applause] SW out the near side gain of a couple on the play Alex Washington with the reception today there’s been some Vanderbilt miscues along the way that have certainly helped the skater Club that’s what we talked about Dave was Florida’s talented enough making plays on their own you don’t need to help them out and it’s been the two block punts missed the field goal the Ryan Smith interception really has allowed Florida to come out of this thing right now with a 256 lead and Nixon has been held in check this afternoon pretty nicely by the gers and that’s a reason why they just they just got too much speed well you you you got to be impressed with their team speed daveid we talked about it all day long but when you start talking about individual players Ryan Smith has been unbelievable today his ability to cover Earl Bennett and then his ability to play Within the concept he forced that play there so some other Gators can come up and make the tackle what an outstanding find or transfer however you want he played for urban my Utah so obviously Urban knew who he was had fallen kind of out of favor didn’t start at Utah and did what he could and made his way to Gainesville right before the season started and what an addition to this club has an interception today third and 10 nion stands in there stands in there hit passes caught that’ll be a first down white the senior out of mon Georgia hit by Earl ever but I thought Nixon did a nice job just buying time well he hung on to the football long enough well you got to credit the offensive line the offensive line for Vanderbilt holds off these athletes we’ve been talking about for Florida and gives him just enough time to fly find the throw over the middle see that’s all offensive line Chris Nixon just floating up in the pocket nice job by the Vandy offensive line big first down for Vanderbilt [Applause] whistles timeout taken by the commodor that’ll be their first of the second half Andy needs to uh put some points on the board in a hurry here that pass Falls incomplete looking for Earl Bennett take a look at our third quarter stats and Vanderbilt winning the rushing game only because their defense is cause some sacks but passing 239 for the Gators and time of possession is beginning to add up dramatically for the Florida Gators well we talked about B’s inability to convert on third down and that’s really why Florida owned the third quarter Nixon now 17 out of 30 for 161 yds through the air does have an interception hit as he lets it go and that’ll be a flag a Blow To The Head complete termain McCollum came in off the corner and got Nixon right in the chops ring the passer number 28 defense face to face with a quarterback 15yd penalty from the end of the run first down I apologize to taine mccum well this is not something you can teach a quarterback and this is why Chris Nixon is a special player he knows he’s going to take a shot he stands in there and waits for his receiver to uncover and he knows he’s going to take the hit now mullum obviously want to stay away from the head area and that would have been a clean hit but I love the way Chris Nixon is learning to play quarterback in this league he’s paying a price [Music] though inside offing Jackson Garrison only gets a couple Jarvis Moss with six tackles to today for more on Chris Nixon let’s check in with Dave Baker Buzz yeah Dave obviously an incredible talent but I’m interested in hearing from your partner upstairs Bobby Johnson told us on the conference call the other day he wasn’t really concerned about Nixon’s inconsistency but davar he he just continues to throw off that back foot now obviously during his career here before he became the starter he had a chance to see Jay Cutler do a lot of that but you can’t do that for long I don’t think canel no that’s a good point you’re not going to make a living especially against the athletes Florida has if you you the ball or late with the ball off your back foot FL by Jump free play for theodors pass is dropped and flags come in on Earl Bennett the intended receiver covered by Earl Everett Moss looked like he jumped from his defensive end [Music] position and getting back real quickly to what Dave Baker was talking about in in the incon consistencies of the quarterback that’s something that Nixon will begin to learn the footwork thing that’s all a part of learning the techniques and what you need to do from a quarterback position I just like his courage and the way he plays there are two fouls on the play off sides number 94 defense that penalty’s declined pass interference on the defense that penalty is first down and spot [Applause] [Music] foul we’ve talked about the match up Ryan Smith and Earl Bennett and again this is the same situation good block there in front of the quarterback but it looked like Ryan Smith arrived just before the ball got there got on the back of Earl Bennett the officials looking to see if Bennett’s body changes its angle at all looked like he caught that inside shoulder and moved him a little bit you know Vanderbilt hasn’t looked pretty on this drive but they have certainly moved it as the hand off or the snop goes right to Jacks Garrison off the left side he’s down to the 10 yd line a play they ran earlier had a little bit of success they moved Nixon to wide receiver and Jackson Garrison does the rest well what happens is they get the edge blocked and and he’s allowed to skate to the outside nobody there at home and whenever you can get on the edge you’re going to make some plays that’s something that Florida doesn’t allow to happen very often they credit Vanderbilt’s offense reading the play that’s Chris Nixon reading the play off his wristband he’s been the number in then he reads the number of the playoff to the rest of the offense that’s that’s Simplicity I can deal with right there yeah you like that yeah you might have had a longer than what 8year career in the NFL if you have had that [Applause] system looking in the touchdown vandermills George Smith with his second touchdown catch of the season but it’s the execution of the design of the play Dave they run the receiver a little rub play in running down the sideline Chris Nixon do a again great protection for Nixon gives him a chance to sort it out but he goes down the sideline and turns it up George Smith showed the out route they’ve been showing that combination all day he wheeled it to the sideline Nixon’s on the money with a throw Nixon’s 12th touchdown pass of the Year Vanderbilt will now go for two they have failed earlier when they went for two on their first [Applause] [Music] [Applause] touchdown Mixon throwing back wide open theone and good hustle Ryan Smith closing speed got there it was a well-designed play but Ryan Smith just outran the football Vanderbilt playing with a lot more confidence than maybe they’ve ever played with hanfelt to kick it away Brandon James inside the five James to the 30 a drop there Josh Allen with another special teams tackle today for the commodor time now for our Suzuki way of life player and we’re going to go with Chris leag today he’s a drat award finalist which certainly goes to somebody that’s more than just an excellent football player they got to be good in the classroom as well he will graduate in 3 and 1/2 years he will have a degree in sociology of course uh he’s a young man that has uh came in so heralded had so much placed on his shoulders at an independent High School in Charlotte and you know I don’t know if anybody could ever really live up to the expectations that were placed upon [Music] him but he has done a nice job leading the GES this afternoon sha wi to the 35 in his career Chris Lee 29- 12 as a starter and has it had to deal with that tumultuous time the final season of Ron zooks 10 year and then Urban Meyer comes in with a brand new offense as a quarterback you had this at Iowa State you know a running team then all of a sudden you become a passing team how tough is that well it’s difficult and I think that the thing you have to admire obviously a tremendous athlete has the ability to play the game but as a person tremendous leader a guy that accepted some of the aders really was some of the glue that held this team together through some of those tough years of ronzo left side Shawn wi out with the 40 to the 41 couple of black jerseys on the spot including 94 Ray Brown gain of six Chris leak has done so much through the air you sometimes blw sight though that he’s chasing Danny worle for career passing yardage Danny worle 10,875 yards in his career a Heisman Trophy type of career needs needed 938 to tile coming into this one leak 182 yards away from passing Eli Manning well he’s had an outstanding career and I don’t think enough can be said about how he’s had no quarter Blake likes to come off the field and he’s had to share some time with the youngster link with 238 through the air today that passes Eli Manning and he’ll try to that here looking for Dallas B picked off at the 25 yd line by Ryan Hamilton his first interception of the Season looking for Dallas Baker you got him again Dave Chris leak doesn’t want to hear your name ever again you got him again Chris what happen you get play action you get some benefits of play action what it does is it freezes people but what it also does is makes you late throwing the football Baker won early he had press coverage on the outside versus Allen he got clean early but Co Chris leak had the play action fake he was late getting the ball which allowed the center fielder come over and make the play all right I’m not going to say Chris leak’s name again the rest of the day I’m just going to call him 12 there you go well here’s number three for Vander Chris Nixon in the shot C side Earl Bennett just ran out of room tried to stop ear y on the play take a look at our Hummer scoreboard Miss IPP State still winning Georgia and Kentucky slow to put points on the board Auburn now up 10 in the second quarter on Arkansas State LSU and Tennessee that game will get started in oh about 10 or 15 minutes and a that’s a big game of interest for that man Urban Meer if Florida can hold on here LSU beats Tennessee Gator win the East and head to Atlanta done deal play clock down to three two they get it out just in time there’s pressure Nixon hit as he throws up in the air did make the catch did he make the catch oh yes he [Applause] did we got two Gators banged up on the play as they collided as they went up against Earl Bennett good job Chris Nixon sorting out the blitz getting his protection set look at him use his eyes move the safety out of the middle of field field and then he finds Earl Bennett and Earl Bennett just goes up and takes the football away from Florida Earl Bennett running straight down the field on the post route and he’s just going to go take it at its highest point he wanted it more Reggie Lewis one of the players down trying to get an eye on the other one that was involved in that Collision good hand as Reggie Lewis and Reggie Nelson were both banged up on that collision and it must have been a big time hit because to get Reggie Nelson out of a game is uh that’s almost impossible to do 10 lines up near side Nixon out the [Applause] shotgun Here Comes pressure Nixon sees it throws that pass is bobbled out of bounds by Geor smth for number 888 George Smith incomplete and what Chris Dixon will learn as this thing goes on is that Earl Bennett is going to be become as much a factor as of a decoy as he is going to be a receiver because people are are trying to defend him in that situation there you had Smith slip to the outside to get Smith the football he’s able to hang on to be a nice play well Reggie Nelson checks back in the gator secondary lines up at safety and there he is misses that one play pressure comes backside Harvey on the Run Syer almost picked it off Syer nearly had it right in his hands that was actually Jarvis Moss using great speed to try to chase down Nixon and then the little shov a pass hit 40 well Nixon gets to the outside and he can feel Moss coming and he’s just going to try to shovel it down the field and Syler almost came up with the football ooo that would have been a big play the other way of Syer could have held on that’s one of those ones where Bobby Johnson’s jumping up and down going no no no 838 to play in this one it is third down and 10 are you in four down territory here we will see in a moment here’s Jackson Garrison to the 20 to the 19 yd line I guess we won’t have to find out not yet not yet I think you are though I think you’re to the point now where you do go but this is just a little screen to the inside to Jackson Garrison turns he looks like he’s going to block moss and slips off the block good job of Nixon acting like he’s going to throw the ball down the field that’s a lot of it it’s a lot about your quarterback being an actor like he’s going to throw it down the field and then dump it off to his back Reggie Lewis checks back into the game for the Gaters Jackson Garrison Nowhere to Run Jarvis Moss with seven stops again make a couple of plays against the Florida defense and here comes the pressure this time they come up with a seven up on the line of scrimmage look and they came and there was just no Gap no place to run the football here’s a look at that Red Zone powered behind the generators for the ultimate tailgating experience look at the Gators defensively this year they have been very successful in that department they third best in the league in red zone defense there’s Charlie Strong co-defensive coordinator second down and 10 Nixon swings it near side makes a man miss down to the 14 yd line but that’ll bring up a third down and about five ever with the tack well we just talked to Dave Baker downstairs and he talked about how they’re using Earl Bennett how about that catch as he pulls it off the shoe tops and then made Ryan Smith Miss who has only has seven tackles on the day great job by Earl Bennett again using him in a different place coming out of the back field Bennett now with 11 grabs all out Shawn Walker had the football down around the 10 and he is tackled by Reggie Lewis who was banged up earlier Jarvis Moss also comes in to help out plus again another Blitz all out Blitz they can’t block everybody he gets the ball out quickly to to Walker this was Buzz this was right at you I thought you were going to make the tackle on this play he was right down there in front of the play this is a big big fourth down right here fourth and two in a Timeout taken by Vanderbilt and in a close game using these timeouts could be costly Earl benett singled one-on-one with Ryan Smith at the bottom sweep go run Garrison he needed to get down to about the 9 and a half if it’s a right foot spot he might have gotten it I don’t know now this might be one of those situations for you see a coach challenge a spot a good good job of Jackson Garrison getting up the field but it’s a good spot I think it’s a good spot absolutely Dave Baker you’re looking right down that [Applause] line spot I I Dave I agree with you I think with that spot I don’t know that he got [Applause] it these few seconds have got to be terrorizing Bobby Johnson and he didn’t get [Applause] it and Bobby Johnson is hot well if he disagrees with the spot I I think you challenge I think you have to you almost even though you only got one timeout left I think that that’s your best opportunity I think you I think you’re right why not take another look at it we we will do it we don’t have to burn a [Applause] timeout I think that’s a good spot I do I do too outstanding job I can’t get the number on the Florida player that makes Jackson Garrison hurdle over the top and standing job by one of the Florida Defenders looked like on their defensive linemen to blow that play up and the clock starts there’s 15 on the play clock and Le will snap it with 12 and Des Shawn wi gets it out to the 14 yd [Music] line take a look at our Hummer scoreboard Alabama with a another field goal it was 2410 at half Mississippi State LED and now Georgia in the fourth quarter still with that lead over Kentucky and Auburn not exactly running away from Arkansas State and that LSU Tennessee game about to kick off in a matter of [Music] moments gets the hand off right side he trips and stumbles wow and and it looked like he fell down on the first play as well Dave uh two times it looked like he’s had some Running Room and uh went down so you got one timeout left and you’re at 453 after this play you burn it here I think you almost have to try to save as much time as you can so I think you burned a timeout before the punt close captioning is provided by ikbi incorpor building vision building relationships for more info go to ik.com Chris leak maybe a quarterback draw here to take care of the ball looks like they’re on speed coming off that edge he will come right at Le pass other side it’s CAU by Carwell and he is met and hit at the 16 by Kevin Joyce who is from H in the Hills Florida his last chance to meet the Gators and there is the timeout by by Vanderbilt their last one you got to credit Lanford 33 he’s the one that kind of bottles the play up and allows Joyce to come up and make the [Applause] hit you know what Kevin Joyce does in his free time is he wrestles alligators he took Jay Cutler down to his house last year and he said come on I want to show you some alligators well he jumps out of a boat and starts wrestling an alligator Jay Cutler’s like whoa time out oh remember these two clubs last year double overtime in Gainesville still a lot of talk about the unsportsmanlike penalty when Vanderbilt had a chance to go for the win a two-point conversion would have gotten there gotten them the win but a excessive celebration penalty against Earl Bennett in the end zone after a touchdown nullified that opportunity High s Wilbur lowline Drive kick he’s done it that way all day the P the football is dropped and who’s going to get it I think FY came up with it Florida had two or three opportunities but that lowline drive by Eric Wilbur has been tough for the commodor to handle all day long looked like maybe Jared Fagen got in and make the made the recovery sophomore cornerback hustling down the field Washington made the right decision to come up you talk talked about it Dave how difficult the wind is down on the field and and flipping the ball around very difficult but Fagan does a nice job Young quarterback to preserve the situation there’s the timeout situation Vandy with none there’s 401 and now the clock starts Nixon out of the shot gun fourman rush throw to the near side and Bennett couldn’t handle ite what you’ll see from Florida now is they’ll just let their front four get after Chris Nixon kind of disregard the Run and play zone coverage and make Chris Nixon throw the ball underneath and come up and make the tackle and try to eat up the clock as much as they can V own 46 yd [Applause] line down goes Nixon Jarvis Moss ate him up M I don’t think he was touched four and a half sacks on the year now for Mr Moss now Moss has been a monster coming off the edge did a good job of pressuring Nickson in the last series of downs and this is just a cleen clean win with his speed around the edge to get the [Applause] sack Gator on the year with 23 sacks big day for Moss eight tackles a couple of pressures and now set after the loss of nine here is Nixon he’ll try to run and get as much as he can right back to the original line of scrimmage with 306 to play that’ll bring up a fourth down and 10 and once again up front Gator’s going without Marcus Thomas a comment from Urban Meyer a quote Marcus did not meet his responsibilities and obligations to remain on the team so the Gators will go the rest of the way without their big defensive tackle the senior out of Jacksonville [Music] well what coach Urban Meer would tell you is it’s about the guys that are on the field and these guys are battling he owes them it’s a responsible to those guys that are doing the right things to allow this team to win football games and the respect of their [Applause] program fourman Rush again here’s Bennett he’s going to have to hustle to get the first down did he get it I think he pass I think his left foot got across that line if and if VY doesn’t get the spot on this one Bobby Johnson might blow a gasket Earl B does a good job of coming underneath and catching the football and then trying to find that marker boy he was right near it where’s the football though it’s not necessarily where his foot is it’s where the football is and I tell you what that football was in his right hand I think he got it by about a half a foot well I I I’ll say this I think that was that time it was a generous spot for Vanderbilt well you got to have a lot of confidence in your guy Earl Bennett if you’re going to lay it off short of the first down he got a good block by one of his other receivers and was able to just get enough for the first down first 10 V Florida they’ll take the first down a minute and 4 seconds of a minute and 5 Seconds have ticked off the clock since Vanderbilt got the football [Applause] back whistles blow maybe Florida Urban Meer might have wanted a timeout he was down there on the gator sideline jumping up and down that may have been what the whistles were for you know what he may be using a timeout to see and and review head coach has called timeout to challenge the spot on the previous play see and I think that I think that is an an outstanding call by Urban Meyer why not we talked about this before the game and this is exactly why they had the coach’s decision the play stands is called on the field first down Florida is charged with their second team timeout Chris Nixon is thrown for a career high 254 yards today bettering his performance last weekend by four yards Seven Up In The Box for the Gators it will bring five and nearly picked off Bennett broke his pattern out to the outside Nixon threw it over the middle got lucky that one wasn’t taken away by Reggie Lewis and what they’re doing what they’re doing with this all look all up look defensively and then they’re dropping back out into zone is they’re trying to screw up the protection guys are you’re seeing Nixon pointing out who’s the Blitzer who’s the hot guy and so the offensive line is trying to sort that out and then when all those guys drop out now you try to sort out who is coming and it screws up the protection that’s FL is trying to do bluff the Blitz and then drop the zone seven again up up the line of scrimmage and then four pel off Jackson Garrison bounces off a couple of Defenders and finally brought down at the 31 that’ll be a first down Reggie Nelson with the tackle now this is where Chris Nixon has to manage the game he’s got to preserve his much time as he can they got the first down get the play called while they get the chain set and when they get it set you got to to get a snap preserve as much time as you can cuz you got to have two scores at the Florida 31 yd line Nixon over the middle AR to the 10 to the touchdown we talked about this combination all day Dave Chris Dixon and Earl benett and this is what it is this is just two sophomore players making two big time plays it’s a great catch by benett it’s a tremendous throw from Chris Nixon between two Florida Gators and now you’re down to one score it’s been a great match up all day Ryan Smith gets away with a little bit of holding at the line but Bennett makes a big time grab what he needed to ER B is just big time and we still got a game in now [Applause] a line drive kick rolling around who’s got it the gator do Dallas Baker came up with the football a line drive that bounced off a couple of white jerseys and that’ll basically do it 224 to play in this one well there’s a lot of different ways to do the onside kick this is one he’s trying to line off of somebody you see uh Tim TBO is part of that hands package Dallas Baker ends up with the ball going back to what you’re were talking about Dave as far as Florida and are they going to lose some uh some votes here because of the game here against Vander I don’t think they’re going to get enough credit for beating a really good Vanderbilt team on their field I mean I think I think Vanderbilt’s being under sold here this is a really good football team I will agree with that wholeheartedly the polls make up 2/3 of the BCS rankings the computers come into play and you know there’s that perception and and I think some people out west may not understand how good vanderbild is this year I mean it’s this is a football team that that uh has four wins but could easily have six or seven wins had things bounced a different direction a lot of other teams will say those kind story but when you say that about in this league you’re talking about something completely different it’s a different animal in this league TBO trying to break one loose L he’ll pick up the first down and that will definitely end any hopes and dreams of Vanderbilt pulling off the upset a g of 12 for Tim TBO another tough loss for that man Bobby Johnson but I can tell you this Urban Meer will be glad to get out of here and go to 8-1 and 6 And1 and remember if LSU goes to Knoxville which they just kicked off and beats Tennessee the Gators are heading to Atlanta for the SEC title game on December 2nd which extends your opportunity to be a part of that National Championship picture I I I think ultimately when it gets down to it if Florida wins out wins the SEC Championship game I don’t know how you don’t if a one lost team is in in that mix I don’t know how you can can avoid putting the Gators in a title game if they run the table and a one loss team is in the mix especially if you’re waiting into the season losses more than you do at the beginning of the season because you’re talking about Ohio State and Michigan somebody’s going to lose on November the 18th uh at the Horseshoe in Columbus so that’s an eight end of the season loss and does that drop them below a a one loss Florida team or a one loss Arkansas Team I’ve talked about it till I was blue in the face this week and it’s I’m going to change a whole bunch of different colors before this season is out Urban Meyer in the gator pick up the win here in Nashville 25 to 19 the commodor did not go quietly a late touchdown made it a six-point contest feel like they couldn’t compete on this level these two guys came to play today my friends Dallas Baker seven catches 135 yards Earl Bennett look at his numbers 13 catches today there are Lincoln Financial Group players of the game
