The backstory:

The Commodores are coming off a 59-0 thumping at home to Alabama. The last two seasons, however, Derek Mason’s squad has played the Gators close with both games being decided by seven points or less (9-7, 13-6).

What they said:

“I feel like what they did last week has nothing to do with what they’re capable of. I know they’re going to give us their best game, especially coming off a loss like that. So they’re going to try to give us all they’ve got, we’ve just got to be prepared for whatever they’ve got.” – sophomore linebacker David Reese

“You know Vanderbilt is a really smart team. You know, everybody does their job. They rarely make mistakes and you know that’s hard to beat a team when everybody is doing their job. So, we’ll have to focus on knowing what you got to do and do your job, execute at a high level, and hopefully we can come out with a win this week.” – senior wide receiver Brandon Powell
