Given one last improbable — or unfathomable — chance to win a game they had not seized at any point on a chilly afternoon in Nashville, the Florida Gators snapped a Hail Mary try that was only possible because of seconds and a stopped clock gifted to them by gross incompetence from an officiating team that had offered plenty of it.
Anthony Richardson threw the pass well out of the back of the end zone.
And so ended a 31-24 loss to Vanderbilt — Florida’s second overall and first in Nashville since 1988 — that was unquestionably the Gators’ worst effort of the season.
