Vanderbilt is graded on all aspects of its 42-14 loss to No. 4 Florida. 

Quarterbacks: C-

It was too little too late for the Vanderbilt quarterbacks. Redshirt junior Mackenzi Adams only threw for 47 yards while throwing an interception. Former starter redshirt senior Chris Nickson entered the game and led the Commodores on two scoring drives while throwing for two touchdowns. Nickson also ran for 39 yards. Still, the two quarterbacks only threw for 114 yards.

Running backs: C+
The overall rushing yards seem pretty good, but the running backs only accounted for a portion of that yardage because of Nickson's contribution. Redshirt junior Jared Hawkins rushed for 46 yards and redshirt senior Jeff Jennings ran for 37. The final yardage total was 150, which was decent, but Vanderbilt ran the ball nearly 40 times and could have gotten more production.

Wide-Receivers: C-
Six different receivers had a catch of 9 yards or longer. However, no single receiver had more than three receptions, and they were generally shut down by the Florida secondary. Redshirt senior Sean Walker was the team's leading receiver with a mere 32 yards, but he added a touchdown catch, as did redshirt freshman Jamie Graham.

Offensive Line: B
The offensive line played fairly well, as they only allowed one sack. They were able to get a forward push to help accumulate 150 rushing yards. The line was especially solid in the second half.

Defensive Line: C
The defensive line only got one sack, and it didn't really seem to bother Tim Tebow and the Florida offense very much. Tebow seemed to always have time to throw and was able to get outside of the edge contain. The line also got manhandled in the running game, allowing 231 yards on the ground.

Linebackers: C-
The linebackers were charged with stopping Tebow's running ability, which is no easy task. The Heisman Trophy winner ran for 88 yards on 11 carries and was able to beat the Vanderbilt linebackers to the edge and was able to outmuscle them on the ground. Tebow also ran for two touchdowns, and Percy Harvin added another 60 yards and a touchdown for good measure.

Secondary: C
Although junior D.J. Moore had an interception, it came against Florida's backup quarterback, and the rest of the Vanderbilt secondary allowed three touchdown passes and 191 yards on only 21 attempts. Many times the cornerbacks were beaten badly, and the secondary also allowed a touchdown pass of 41 yards - the type of big play a good defense cannot allow.

Special Teams: C
The kickoff returns were really the only positive for the special teams, as Moore had a return for 32 yards. However, there really wasn't much else to speak of. Moore only got one chance to return a punt and lost 3 yards, and punter Brett Upson had a mediocre day.

Coaching: D
The Commodores looked bewildered and overwhelmed from the onset of this game. Florida punched Vanderbilt in the mouth on their first offensive series, which resulted in a passing touchdown. The Commodores never recovered until the second half, where they did seem to turn things around. At that point however, it was too little too late. Coach Bobby Johnson needs to better prepare his troops and can't let them be intimidated by big opponents.
