Coach Steve Spurrier need only remind his Gators of last season, when Florida struggled past the Commodores, 13-6, and was held to its lowest yardage total of the season (269). Two costly turnovers in Florida territory and a blocked punt prevented the upset by the Commodores, whose final drive stalled at the Florida 19.

Jared McGrath ran for 125 yards against the Gators, marking the last time the Commodores had a 100-yard rusher. McGrath needs 12 yards to reach 2,000 in his career.

Florida (7-1, 5-1 SEC East) has won its last three games and can be assured of a date in the SEC title game if it keeps winning. Florida also has a November 18 date with Florida State, a game with major national title implications.

Spurrier rotated Rex Grossman and Jesse Palmer at quarterback in last week's 34-23 win over Georgia and the pair combined for 247 yards and a TD pass. Those numbers should improve against a Vanderbilt defense that has allowed at least 28 points five times this season.

The Gators struggled on defense last week, but converted four turnovers into 15 points. Florida has forced 28 turnovers, tied for the most in the nation.

Vanderbilt (2-6, 0-5) was off last week after a 30-14 loss to South Carolina. Dan Stricker has four 100-yard receiving games this season and averages 98.5 yards for the season.

Florida leads the series, 22-9-2, and has won the last nine meetings.
