Three yards.
On fourth down with the Gators trailing at Vanderbilt 21-13 in 2018, that’s all they needed when Tommy Townsend stepped up for what was supposed to be his third punt of the game.
He went through his mental checklist: feet set, hands steady, know the situation. But this time, he had to remember one more thing: When you see a hole, run through it.
The ball was snapped, Tommy started his kicking motion, and then he saw the window. A hole at the line of scrimmage opened up for him in the middle of the line, and Tommy tucked the ball away and sprinted down field.
