Florida wins, as expected

In a game which the Gators were supposed to win, they again took a little longer than the Gator nation of fans would like,  to win this one.  As expected, they beat Vanderbilt Saturday night,  31-17.  Read the recap at ESPN.com

The big story is that the next game will be at home in the Swamp against South Carolina.  The Gamecocks lost to LSU one week after humiliating the Georgia Bulldogs.  Who knows what will happen this weekend?  Will the real Gamecocks show up to play in the Swamp?  Also, the Gators were just announced at the no. 2 spot in the first BCS poll.  No pressure now! 

And how about Jeff Driskel's running game? He ran for 177 yards against Vandy, the most of any Gator quarterback in history, taking the no. 1 spot from Tim Tebow.  It was even mentioned during the game that Jeff Driskel was recruited by Urban Meyer to replace Tim Tebow.
