FINAL: Vanderbilt 31, Florida 24

WHAT HAPPENED: Quarterback Mike Wright threw three touchdown passes to three different receivers and the Vanderbilt defense completely neutralized the Gators’ high-powered rushing attack Saturday in a stunning Southeastern Conference upset defeat of the Gators at FirstBank Stadium. The loss was UF’s first in the series since 2013 and just the second over the last 31 games, dating to 1989. Wright fired TD tosses of 10 to wideout Jayden McGowan in the second quarter, then seven to Gavin Schoenwald and 28 to Ben Bresnahan, both tight ends, in the third quarter to open a 28-12 lead. Along the way, though, UF did its part in aiding the Commodores, who came in as 22.5-point underdogs having just last week snapped a 26-game SEC losing streak. While Vandy was building its lead, Florida was committing three personal-foul penalties, plus a killer defensive holding call on an incomplete third-down play, all of which came back to haunt the Gators. There was more. Return man Jason Marshall Jr. muffed a punt that caromed into the end zone and was recovered by the Commodores for a special teams TD. And then there was Anthony Richardson’s late third-quarter interception (a forced pass while he was being taken down for a sack) that set up the third Wright TD and put the Commodores in front 28-12 with 11 seconds left in the third period. After that pick, Richardson bounced back, firing a 74-yard touchdown pass to wideout Daejon Reynolds (8 catches, 65 yards, 2 TD) with 12 minutes left, but the Gators missed a second attempt at two-point conversion to keep Vandy’s lead at 10. Still, UF had a shot to make things interesting when Marshall intercepted Wright with 6:32 to play at the Vandy 5, but the Gators failed on the sudden change even to get a first down, giving the ball back on downs to the Commodores, who padded the lead with a 27-yard field goal from Joseph Bulovas with 4:38 left. Richardson answered, though, driving Florida 75 yards in seven plays, hitting Reynolds for a 16-yard on fourth down with 3:13 left. After a failed onsides kick attempt, the Gators forced a punt and got possession at their own 9 with 46 seconds left. Richardson threw his team to the Vandy 34, but his Hail Mary attempt on the game’s final snap sailed out of the back of the end zone.  Wright finished 10 of 16 for 108 yards, the three scores and a pick, while senior tailback Ray Davis carried 30 times for 122 yards for a…
