Vanderbilt coach James Franklin has finally notched his first road win in the Southeastern Conference, a rarity for the Commodores.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt coach James Franklin has finally notched his first road win in the Southeastern Conference, a rarity for the Commodores.

Not that they get time to celebrate only the school's fourth SEC road win since 2008. Vanderbilt hosts fourth-ranked Florida on Saturday.

The Commodores quit celebrating a 19-15 win over Missouri about the time the plane landed early Sunday morning.

Franklin spent most of his time Monday talking about how impressed he is with the Gators (5-0, 4-0 SEC) and how coach Will Muschamp has put his stamp on the Florida program.

Florida will be the third top 10 team Vanderbilt (2-3, 1-2) has played this season.
