				<title><![CDATA[Tebow, Florida vanquish Vanderbilt]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- Tim Tebow and Florida are on 
the march, and Vanderbilt wasn't about to stop them.

The fifth-ranked Gators crushed the Commodores, 42-14, on 
Saturday to record their fifth straight victory.

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Tebow is back in the race 
for the hardware after passing for 171 yards and rushing for 88 
more against Vanderbilt.  The junior passed for three touchdowns
and ran for two more in less than three quarters as Florida took
a 42-0 lead.

"It was a pretty good first half," Tebow said.  "We came out and
executed early and our defense came up with some big stops.  We 
were able to manage our offensive drives well and we were able 
to put some points on the board so overall I think we had a good
half."

The Gators (8-1, 6-1 SEC East), meanwhile, are back in the 
national title picture with a vengeance.  Since a one-point loss
to Mississippi, Florida has been unstoppable.  The victory 
clinches the SEC East for the Gators and gives them a shot at  
Alabama in the conference championship game next month.

"I was really impressed with the way that we jumped out early," 
Florida coach Urban Meyer said.  "It was a product of a very 
good defense and very good special teams.  If we play like that 
and the offensive line blocks for the quarterback, then we're 
great. The attention to detail and the fact that we represent 
the eastern side of the SEC as a champion is a great 
accomplishment for our players."

Vanderbilt was the latest school to feel the wrath of Meyer's 
attack, which went over the 400-yard mark for total offense 
despite basically shutting down after three quarters.

"It was a very good half. Tim Tebow came out and played 
tremendously," Meyer said.  "It all starts with defense.  I want
to say we held them without a first down for four series. ... 
There were a lot of plays that weren't designed. They made 
decisions that forced them to run the ball and caused us to get 
a few hits on them."

The Commodores (5-4, 3-3 SEC East) started the season 5-0, but 
have lost four straight.  Their best chance to become 
bowl-eligible in what was a once-promising season appears to be 
November 22 in the rivalry game against stumbling Tennessee.

"We played a really outstanding football team tonight," 
Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson said.  "Their speed is really 
impressive and we helped them out a whole bunch with an 
interception and a blocked punt.  That's no way to compete in 
one of these games."

In the first half alone, Tebow threw three touchdowns passes and
ran for two others.  The southpaw accounted for 226 yards of 
total offense.  By comparison, Vanderbilt had 93 yards in the 
first 30 minutes.

"The thing I like most about him is that he is a cool customer,"
Johnson said.  "He doesn't get flustered even though he's 
getting pressured, people around his ankles, and we just 
couldn't tackle him.  He comes out of it and makes big plays, 
looks like he's going to be sacked and they throw a touchdown.  
I think he's a really outstanding player."

Tebow came out blazing, hitting Louis Murphy with a 12-yard 
touchdown pass and running for scores from 26 and 8 yards before
the game was 14 minutes old.  In the second quarter, Tebow 
clicked with Riley Cooper from 11 yards and David Nelson from 41
to make it 35-0 at intermission.

The Gators tacked on their final score early in the third 
quarter when Percy Harvin scored from 1 yard out.

Meyer pulled Tebow and the starters, and Vanderbilit began to 
mount some offense against the reserves.

Chris Nickson threw two TD passes for the Commodores, hitting 
Jamie Graham from 2 yards and Sean Walker from 14 to complete 
the scoring.

"I think we moved the football pretty well in the first half, 
but we just had crazy penalties hurting ourselves," Nickson 
said.  "In the second half, we came out and executed our plays, 
eliminated the penalties and just moved the football the way we 
know we can."]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[(5) Florida (7-1) at Vanderbilt (5-3), 8:00 pm EST

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- After an impressive win over 
Georgia, Florida is back in the national championship picture.  
But coach Urban Meyer wants to tone down such talk - at least 
for now.

The next order of business for the fifth-ranked Gators is 
clinching the Southeastern Conference East Division title, 
something they can do with a win at Vanderbilt on Saturday.

Florida (7-1, 5-1 SEC East) is seeking its ninth appearance in 
the SEC title game - four more than Alabama and Tennessee, who 
have made five appearances.  The Gators are 6-2 in SEC title 
games, including a 38-28 victory over Arkansas in 2006 en route 
to the national championship.

"We have to be ready for Nashville (Vanderbilt) next week," 
Meyer said.  "We want a trip to Atlanta (for the SEC title game 
on December 6)."

Florida was plenty ready for Georgia last week, routing the 
Bulldogs, 49-10, to avenge last season's 42-30 loss.  Tim Tebow,
whose numbers are down from last year's Heisman Trophy season, 
passed for two touchdowns and ran for three others as the Gators
continued their late-season surge.

Two of Tebow's TD runs came after he sprained his left ankle 
early in the third quarter, but the injury hardly slowed him 
down.

"He's relaxed, he's playing and he's having a lot of fun," Meyer
said.  "Tim Tebow loves the game of football and loves the 
University of Florida.  He's contagious.  When he plays well, 
the whole offense plays well."

Florida is playing as well as anyone in the country, outscoring 
its last four opponents by a combined 201-43 margin following a 
31-30 loss to Mississippi.

That is bad news for Vanderbilt (5-3, 3-2), whose season is on 
the verge of falling apart following an historic start.

A 14-13 win over Auburn on October 4 gave the Commodores their 
first 5-0 start since 1943.  Since then, however, they have 
dropped three in a row, including a disappointing 10-7 loss to 
Duke two weeks ago.

The Commodores were blanked against the Blue Devils until 
Mackenzi Adams tossed a 79-yard touchdown pass to Sean Walker 
with 13:20 remaining.

Vanderbilt, which climbed to 14th in the coaches' poll following
the win over Auburn, still needs one victory to become bowl 
eligible for the first time since 1982.  The Commodores finish 
with road games at Kentucky and Wake Forest, sandwiched around a
home contest against Tennessee.

Florida has won 17 straight games against Vanderbilt, including 
a 49-22 victory last season, when Gators receiver Percy Harvin 
became the first player in school history with 100 yards rushing
and receiving in the same contest.]]></description>
