Florida 56, Vanderbilt 0: Arguably, the worst performance of the Derek Mason era

To be sure, there have been some awful games in Derek Mason’s six years in Nashville. This might have been the worst.

For comparison, here’s the Statistical I wrote the day after Vanderbilt’s 59-0 loss to Alabama in 2017. (I wasn’t an active writer at AoG during the 2014 football season, so no such evidence exists for anything during that season.) Vanderbilt’s offense had a worse performance in that game, and didn’t have the excuse of being down to its third-string quarterback. On the other hand, Alabama won a national championship that season.

This was basically that game, only against “merely” a Top 10 team rather than a championship team.
