NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Florida Gators have an opportunity Saturday to prove they can shake off not just one, but two ugly hangovers.The 23rd-ranked Gators visit Vanderbilt on Saturday, a week after blowing a 21-point lead in being routed 38-28 by the Tennessee Volunteers. If any Gators need a reminder to focus on a team theyve beaten nine of the past 10 seasons, coach Jim McElwain can point to Vanderbilt nearly ruining homecoming last year before Florida pulled out a 9-7 win clinching the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title.Safety Marcus Maye says the Gators have learned their humbling lesson and know they cant let that happen again.We know it takes four quarters, we cant get down on ourselves if were down, Maye said. We cant relax if were up. Its definitely a learning process.The Gators (3-1, 1-1) arent giving up on defending their SEC East title this early in the season. Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason, whos known McElwain a long time, isnt expecting a team based on whats happened in the last two quarters played.Sometimes you find yourself in a landslide and you cant escape it, and when that happens it can be rough, Mason said. Coach McElwains got to get that group to rebound, and he will. Hes been doing this a long time.Masons Commodores (2-2, 0-1) want to build on a 31-30 overtime win at Western Kentucky last week. And yes, they remember coming up short in the Swamp last November.To come so close and not come up with the win, its unacceptable, Vanderbilt linebacker-safety Oren Burks said. Theres something personal about this game.Here are some things to watch Saturday when the Gators visit Music City:WAKE UP: Kickoff is at 11 a.m. local time, but McElwain is keeping his Gators on Eastern time to help them be ready for their earliest kickoff this season. McElwain has reason to worry about his Gators kicking off at noon after struggling in three such games last season.I dont know what it is with noon starts a year ago, we were FAU, Vanderbilt and the bowl game, which none of those results were very good, McElwain said. So I think lets talk about the obvious, Ive got no problem with that. Weve got to make sure were ready to go play against a team that obviously has some weapons.STOPPING WEBB: Ralph Webb has been Vanderbilts biggest offensive threat since getting on the field, and now the junior ranks second in the SEC averaging 118 yards per game. Webb leads the SEC with five TDs rushing, and now sophomore quarterback Kyle Shurmur is coming off his best game throwing the ball with a career-high 279 yards in rallying Vandy to a win last week.DONT LOOK AHEAD: The Gators cant dwell on last weeks game, and they cant afford to look ahead either. LSU visits Gainesville on Oct. 8, giving Florida a chance to avenge last years 35-28 loss. Just go out and focus on what we have to focus on, Maye said.STINGY D: As bad as the Gators looked giving up five TDs in six possessions last week, theyve been so good defensively that they hardly budged in the early rankings. Florida still leads the SEC averaging 4.25 sacks per game, which is fourth nationally. The Gators are the only team with five different players with at least two sacks, and they rank second in the SEC giving up just 76.5 yards rushing.BALL SECURITY: The Gators have intercepted six passes in the past three games, and Vanderbilt has forced at least one turnover in each game this season. But the Commodores have protected the ball very well so far and lead the SEC in turnover differential at plus-5.---Online:AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org and AP-Top 25 Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Follow Teresa M.

The team also has yet to decide on the future of Doug Berry, who began the season as a consultant to the head coach but took over the offensive co-ordinators duties in July. Wigan have announced the signing of utility Thomas Leuluai for the 2017 Super League season after he was granted an early release from his NRL contract with the Warriors.The 31-year-old New Zealand international, who left Wigan at the end of the 2012 edition of Super League, rejoins them next year but the length of the contact has not been specified.Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan said it was always part of a long-term plan for Leuluai to return to the club and that he would have a place on the coaching staff when he eventually retired.Leuluai, whose wife Natalie is the sister of former Wigan centre Darrell Goulding, had also been linked with St Helens but says a return to Wigan was always his preference.With my wife being from Wigan and uus having a newborn baby, I thought for my family it would be better for us to be back in England, he said.ddddddddddddLeuluai, who spent two seasons with London Broncos before joining Wigan in 2007, made 189 appearances and scored 60 tries for them and was a member of their grand final and Challenge Cup final winning teams.He was in his second stint with the Auckland club, for whom he had became their second youngest debutant in 2003, and had another year left to run on his contract.Leuluai will be reunited at the DW Stadium with Sam Tomkins, who also cut short his time at the Warriors to return to Wigan.
