How would the Florida Gators have faired in overtime with a struggling offense, a weary defense and a back-up kicker?

Thanks to Josh Evans' interception, they didn't have to find out.

The 86th and final snap taken with the Gators’ defense on the field was the most critical play of Saturday’s 14-7 victory against Missouri at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

Usually when a defense comes up with a game-winning turnover, a frenzied celebration ensues.

Not after 86 plays, though.
