o take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Florida Gators have an opportunity Saturday to prove they can shake off not just one, but two ugly hangovers.The 23rd-ranked Gators visit Vanderbilt on Saturday, a week after blowing a 21-point lead in being routed 38-28 by the Tennessee Volunteers. If any Gators need a reminder to focus on a team theyve beaten nine of the past 10 seasons, coach Jim McElwain can point to Vanderbilt nearly ruining homecoming last year before Florida pulled out a 9-7 win clinching the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title.Safety Marcus Maye says the Gators have learned their humbling lesson and know they cant let that happen again.We know it takes four quarters, we cant get down on ourselves if were down, Maye said. We cant relax if were up. Its definitely a learning process.The Gators (3-1, 1-1) arent giving up on defending their SEC East title this early in the season. Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason, whos known McElwain a long time, isnt expecting a team based on whats happened in the last two quarters played.Sometimes you find yourself in a landslide and you cant escape it, and when that happens it can be rough, Mason said. Coach McElwains got to get that group to rebound, and he will. Hes been doing this a long time.Masons Commodores (2-2, 0-1) want to build on a 31-30 overtime win at Western Kentucky last week. And yes, they remember coming up short in the Swamp last November.To come so close and not come up with the win, its unacceptable, Vanderbilt linebacker-safety Oren Burks said. Theres something personal about this game.Here are some things to watch Saturday when the Gators visit Music City:WAKE UP: Kickoff is at 11 a.m. local time, but McElwain is keeping his Gators on Eastern time to help them be ready for their earliest kickoff this season. McElwain has reason to worry about his Gators kicking off at noon after struggling in three such games last season.I dont know what it is with noon starts a year ago, we were FAU, Vanderbilt and the bowl game, which none of those results were very good, McElwain said. So I think lets talk about the obvious, Ive got no problem with that. Weve got to make sure were ready to go play against a team that obviously has some weapons.STOPPING WEBB: Ralph Webb has been Vanderbilts biggest offensive threat since getting on the field, and now the junior ranks second in the SEC averaging 118 yards per game. Webb leads the SEC with five TDs rushing, and now sophomore quarterback Kyle Shurmur is coming off his best game throwing the ball with a career-high 279 yards in rallying Vandy to a win last week.DONT LOOK AHEAD: The Gators cant dwell on last weeks game, and they cant afford to look ahead either. LSU visits Gainesville on Oct. 8, giving Florida a chance to avenge last years 35-28 loss. Just go out and focus on what we have to focus on, Maye said.STINGY D: As bad as the Gators looked giving up five TDs in six possessions last week, theyve been so good defensively that they hardly budged in the early rankings. Florida still leads the SEC averaging 4.25 sacks per game, which is fourth nationally. The Gators are the only team with five different players with at least two sacks, and they rank second in the SEC giving up just 76.5 yards rushing.BALL SECURITY: The Gators have intercepted six passes in the past three games, and Vanderbilt has forced at least one turnover in each game this season. But the Commodores have protected the ball very well so far and lead the SEC in turnover differential at plus-5.---Online:AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org and AP-Top 25 Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Follow Teresa M.

Dana Altman has other quality players: Guard Tyler Dorsey, long and athletic shot-blocker Chris Boucher and starting point guard Casey Benson, who had a stellar 5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio last season. But if Brooks isnt close to 100 percent, the Ducks arent close to the same team.?-- Jeff GoodmanBest case:?Pac-12 champs, Final Four. Last season, the Ducks were outstanding in Pac-12 play and in the NCAA tournament. The selection committee rewarded the quality resume, and Oregon managed the first three tests in the tournamennt very effectively.dddddddddddd With Dillon Brooks, Oregon has a Wooden Award candidate. With Tyler Dorsey, Chris Boucher and Villanova transfer Dylan Ennis, Dana Altman has plenty of talent to make a legitimate run at the Final Four. I think a little bit more of the Ducks than the polls do.Worst case:?Sweet 16. Unless there are significant injuries, Oregon is a second-weekend team. There is simply too much talent. The issue is defense. If the Ducks defend on a high level, this team has already knocked on the Final Four door, and could very well knock that door down.No. 11 UConn | Full List ' ' '
