Series record: Florida leads 43-11-2, winning 30 of the last 32 meetings.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Coming off a 33-14 drubbing at Kentucky, the Gators return to the Swamp for a homecoming game against reeling Vandy. Florida has won three straight at home and should have plenty of motivation considering last week’s dreadful performance and last year’s 31-24 stunning loss in Nashville. The Commodores have dropped four in a row since a 2-0 start.

KEY MATCHUP

Florida’s pedestrian and predictable offense versus Vanderbilt’s sieve of a defense. It might look like a pillow fight. The Commodores are giving up 40 points a game during their skid. The Gators are last in the SEC in scoring, averaging 19 points a game against FBS opponents. Florida coach Billy Napier continues to call plays despite public pleas for him to relinquish that role.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Vanderbilt: Will Sheppard caught five passes for a season-high 98 yards against Missouri and now ranks 10th in program history with 1,826 yards receiving.

Florida: Ricky Pearsall has 30 receptions for 419 yards and two touchdowns this season. He also has nine of the team’s 22 pass plays that gained 15 or more yards.
