Missouri placekicker Harrison Mevis did little Saturday to endear himself to any Florida football supporters.

Mevis kicked the game-winning field goal to seal a 33-31 Florida victory over Missouri at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Mo. He connected on a 30-yard field goal for the win after Florida had just retaken the lead on its previous possession.

The Missouri kicker made the moment sting a little extra against Gator Nation by stealing the opposing fans’ celebration. Mevis began doing the gator chomp after the football went through the uprights.

Mevis, a graduating senior, was playing in his final game for Missouri. He received a fitting send-off after his late-game heroics.

Today’s hero is carried off.

Mevis went 4-for-4 on field goals Saturday.

Florida gave it all it had in a back-and-forth affair against a struggling foe, but Mevis and Missouri were able to get in the last chomp of the day.
