Three Predictions: Vanderbilt-Florida

It's gameday and here are our three predictions for today's game versus the Florida Gators in The Swamp.

The pressure is squarely on the shoulders of the Vanderbilt COmmodores in this one, as their hopes of post season play now rests on winning their final four games of the season. 

That run starts today in The Swamp. A loss to Florida and it's bye-bye bowl game.    

Here are three predictions of things we think will happen in this one. 

THREE PREDICTIONS

1) Vanderbilt Quarterbacks Struggle Again: It's unknown as to who will be the starter this morning, but regardless of which quarterback, Deuce Wallace or Allan Walters step onto the field, they are likely to struggle against what should be an angry bunch of Gators. 

Florida's lost last week cost them a shot at Atlanta and a possible championship and it's hard- not impossible- to see them not being angry and ready to play this week.

Wallace struggled last week, and most every time he's seen the field this season and Walters has not taken a snap in a game this season. It's hard to imagine either will be successful against this Gator defense that has recorded 29 sacks in 9 games. 

2) Commodores Defense Battles: The young Vanderbilt defense has shown marked improvement in the last two games and I see no reason that they won't battle in this one. 

Florida's recieving corps might be the second best overall in the SEC (Alabama), though LSU might argue that point. WIth multiple targets for quarterback Kyle Trask, it will be a challenge for the Commodores to cover them up in the secondary, but then the Commodores will still battle.      

3) FINAL SCORE: The Commodores will battle, and always seem to find a way to play close to the Gators, but in the end of this one, just too much Florida as Vanderbilt's injury issues at quarterback seem too much to overcome.
