NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Florida Gators aren’t in the mood to pick apart a road win in the Southeastern Conference, especially after last week’s ugly loss.
No matter what they might need to fix.
Jordan Scarlett ran for a 4-yard touchdown with Eddy Pineiro adding a pair of field goals as No. 23 Florida held off Vanderbilt 13-6 Saturday.
“A wise man once said, ‘you even have to bring your ugly babies home from the hospital,’ and that was ugly,” Florida coach Jim McElwain said. “In fact that might have been what someone told my dad when I was born. But I feel really good that our guys found a way to win.”
Florida (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) came up with two interceptions and two sacks on a day where the Gators defense otherwise struggled against one of the nation’s worst offenses with three starting linemen missing most of the game.
