It was a long shot Larry Smith could come back this season.MRI results revealed that Vanderbilt's sophomore quarterback suffered a torn left hamstring Saturday. He will miss the final three games.
"I don't expect to see Larry back this year playing for us," Coach Bobby Johnson said at his Monday news conference. "The best prognosis I've heard is four to six weeks. We've had guys who tweaked hamstrings that have not come back in four weeks, so this is pretty significant."
Smith injured his hamstring at the end of a career-long 35-yard run against Georgia Tech.
"I think he was trying to slow down, to tell you the truth," Johnson said. "The guy was running him out of bounds. He was trying to come to a stop, and his leg just looked like it buckled a little bit. That was it."
Smith completed 46.7 percent of his passes for 1,126 yards, four touchdowns and seven interceptions in his nine starts this season.
Senior quarterback Mackenzi Adams will make his 10th career start for the Commodores (2-7, 0-5 SEC) at 6:15 p.m. Saturday at No. 1 Florida (8-0, 6-0). Vanderbilt is 2-7 in Adams' previous starts.
