GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Vanderbilt Effect was evident on the scoreboard at the Swamp, reading 42-0 after Florida’s one-sided win.
On the field, the Gators did not overwhelm the overmatched Commodores when it mattered or rebound from the Kentucky loss with the expected verve of a team facing upcoming dates with LSU and Georgia.
Coach Dan Mullen even needed to dig into his bag of tricks, calling a fake punt to keep alive the first series of the second half, to give the No. 20 Gators (4-2, 2-2 SEC) the boost needed to stroll past the SEC’s doormat.
