GAINESVILLE — Saturday marks the first time since the Texas A&M
game on Sept. 8 that Florida faces a dual-threat QB, Vanderbilt's Jordan Rodgers.
"Not
only do they have a mobile QB, they also have a quarterback running
game package where there are some direct quarterback runs," Gators
defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said Wednesday. "You have to do a
really good job of setting the edges because sometimes when you face a
guy who has the speed to get outside, he'll break contain and then try
to create a play that way.
"Fortunately, our QBs can run. So when we get a chance to go against them, we know what it feels like."
No looking ahead:
The Gators enter on a high after defeating LSU. But after beating the
Commodores by only five points last season, they aren't overlooking them
with an eye toward the following game against South Carolina.
"They are much improved," Florida senior LB Jon Bostic
said. "They've got some guys that really are pretty good. A lot of
people always look over them, but this Vanderbilt team has been
improving pretty much since my freshman year."
