Florida pulls out a close one against Vandy

In a game that went late into Saturday night, the Florida Gators won a nail bitter 49-42 (OT)against the Vanderbilt Commodores. Jay Cutler's gusty performance was not enough to overcome the well balanced #13 Gators. His 361 passing yards and 4 touchdowns all went to waste with a crucial interception in overtime. Cutler is revered as one of college football's best quarterbacks and will has a successful future in the NFL ahead of him. For Florida the win means they still have a chance to win the Eastern Division of the SEC. With a win next week against South Carolina and a loss by Georgia in either of its two final games, Florida can head to the SEC championship game and a hopeful BCS spot. Urban Meyer, in his first year as Florida's head coach, has not been as successful as many believed. After the game he told reporters "We didn't play great, but we did what we had to do to win". Florida now looks to concentrate on their game next week against the Gamecocks and their old head coach Steve Spurrier. Vanderbilt will look to remain bowl eligible and must beat Kentucky and Tennessee in their upcoming games.
