The Michigan Wolverines were missing some of their best players in the 2018 Peach Bowl on Saturday afternoon. Devin Bush, Rashan Gary, and Karan Higdon all sat it out, with an eye on their NFL futures.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, who declared his intentions to enter the NFL Draft and his intentions to play in his final game with the Florida Gators at the same time in late November? He played.
He played well, in fact.
And he keyed a 41-15 blowout of Michigan that ranks among the best bowl performances in Florida history with an individual performance also among the best in a bowl in program history.
