The rundown

Vanderbilt doesn't pose much of a threat to Florida. This is a team, under first-year head coach Clark Lea, that lost to an FCS team and was shut out by the Georgia Bulldogs by a score of 62-0 earlier this year.

Although Florida can't afford to sleep on opponents (as seen by last week's result), addressing the issues apparent in the Gators' loss to Kentucky should be the primary focus of this week's game, essentially turning this contest into a get-right game for UF. The offensive line must become more disciplined after committing eight of Florida's 15 penalties against the Wildcats, Dan Mullen must find a way to expand UF's deep passing game, and the Gators' special teams units must find a way to improve.
