Chance changed UF's season

I feel that the reality of what happened Saturday night is lost on a lot of people.

Yes, the Florida football team won its seventh-consecutive game. And yes, the Gators lost starting quarterback Feleipe Franks for the season. And again, yes, Kyle Trask undoubtedly wrote himself into UF folklore with his miraculous fourth quarter comeback win over the Wildcats.

But the gloomier truth about that trip to Lexington, Kentucky, for the Gators is that they were just an untimely gust of wind away from potentially having an entirely different outcome.

Chance Poore — an unfortunate name for a kicker — was just inches wide right on his go-ahead field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter from 35 yards out.
