While playing in front of a grand total of 90,694 fans of the team, the No 1 Florida team, the Gators managed to win a 19th game in a row following a 27 to 3 victory against Vanderbilt while playing in Saturday in the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The Gators are now 9 and 0 for the season and 7 and 0 for the SEC conference, and they managed to hold back the Commodores, who are 2 and 8 for the season and 0 and 6 for the SEC to only a total of 99 rushing yards and 100 passing yards. This is the sixth time so far this season that the defense on the UF team has managed to hold an opponent back to less than 100 yards total rushing.
This 9 and 0 start is the third time ever this has happened in the entire history of the school.
Led by the senior quarterback, who is Tim Tebow, who managed to complete 15 out of 20 total passes for a total of 208 yards and a single touchdown, the UF Gators managed to rack up a total of 227 yards in the air, accompanying 148 yards total on the ground while playing against the Commodores.
The Junior tight end, who is Aaron Hernandez from Bristol, Connecticut, had what was a true career day, after he tallied a career-tying number of receptions, seven in total, for 120 yards in the air, a career high for him. This included a 64 yard haul during the fourth which was also a career record for him.
After both teams managed to start slowly, including two different punts for the Vanderbilt team during their first two possessions, and a single punt for the Gators on their first possession, the Gators finally managed to put some points on the board with only a single minute left during the first quarter, when they nabbed a 27 yard long field goal on the behalf of Caleb Sturgis. Florida managed to swing into action with a 75 yard and 13 play drive including an excellent 14-yard long reception on the behalf of a redshirt senior by the name of David Nelson as well as a 21-yard long catch on the behalf of Hernandez, allowing the team to take a lead early on in the game.
During the fourth quarter, with only around 11 minutes left on the clock, Florida was taking advantage of errors on Vanderbilt's part to extend the lead to a whopping 27 to 3. This was Nelson's first touchdown for the season, and it concluded the scoring for both of the teams, resulting in the game's final score of 27 to 3.
