GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Three yards? Three yards.
What’s three yards? Just nine feet. Maybe two strides for a 6-footer. Three yards doesn’t seem like much. Some people could hop three yards, maybe even skip three yards, and they certainly can jump three yards.
Three yards separated Florida from, maybe, the biggest win in years. A thundering upset was there. A historic toppling. A stunning victory. It was all there, right there—three yards away.
It seems so simple until you hear more about those three yards and that they were against one of the game’s greatest defensive minds and his No.
