SEC East: W.W.D.V.D.

Florida fans may start wearing bracelets that say, W.W.D.V.D. (What would Darth Visor do?)"

Back in the '90s, would relentless former Florida coach Steve Spurrier (a.k.a as Darth Visor) pull his starters almost immediately in the second half, as new Gators' coach Urban Meyer did on Saturday after taking a 49-7 lead at Kentucky?

The move allowed the Wildcats to score three touchdowns and cut the lead to 49-28 (the final score) before Meyer sent his starters back in the game with 6:49 left.

Answer to the second paragraph: Spurrier would have left his starters in the game through the third quarter, built about a 60-point lead and then let his backups take over in the fourth. And then, they would still be throwing for the end zone.

Meyer's defensive backups gave up three touchdowns to the toothless 'Cats, while the offensive reserves managed just 100 yards, turned the ball over once, and got just five first downs.

"I thought it (the game) was over, to be honest with you," Meyer said. "It's a hard decision in the third quarter. Do you leave the ones in there and all of a sudden get a knee or an ankle injury? Then I'm sick because we lost a guy. That's a fine line."

Meyer wasn't happy about the play of his second-teamers.

"I was absolutely disgusted, you shouldn't have to do that at Florida," Meyer said of having to return his starters to the field.

Party on, Commodores

Vanderbilt is 4-0 and the party is on in Nashville. Vandy flirted with a sellout at Saturday's 37-13 victory over Richmond. The Commodores drew 38,446 to 39,773-seat Vanderbilt Stadium. It was the largest crowd since 39,366 at a 2001 game against Auburn. Saturday's game featured Vandy basketball star Mario Moore, backed by Vandy's band, rapping a Ludicris favorite at halftime. Vandy basketball coach Kevin Stallings introduced Moore to the crowd, calling him "Nashville's No. 1 rapper and my main man.'' ... Tim Frisby, South Carolina's 40-year-old receiver who walked on to the team last year after a career as an Army Ranger, caught the first pass of his college career on Saturday. Carolina quarterback Antonio Heffner of Melrose, who's young enough to be one of Frisby's kids, completed a 9-yard pass to Frisby in the fourth quarter of a win over Troy. "I came back specifically this year to make a catch," Frisby said. "It was just something I had to do."

Red-hot in the Bluegrass

Thousands of Kentucky fans left at halftime of Saturday's 21-point loss to Florida, and with good reason. The 'Cats were losing 49-7 at the half. It was a good time for Lexington Herald-Leader columnist Mark Story to do a fan survey, and he pretty much found what he was looking for. Or rather, the fans found him, such as Jack Musick, who saw Story's notepad and started unloading. "I've been a season-ticket holder since 1959," Musick said. "I won't be one anymore if this mess doesn't stop. This is a disgrace." Musick, like many other fans, added that he wants UK coach Rich Brooks replaced with a young, enthusiastic coach.
