Or earlier this season when Fresno State toppled UCLA before just barely surviving at home against winless UNLV?

It's a fair line, because Vanderbilt's defense is just plain awful. This has to be one of the most difficult games to predict because the Aggies have home-field advantage, but Florida has better weapons.
