Examples of yards in a Sentence

1. Jerry Rice:

   This may be a decision the The Buffaloes lament : A fumble on a conservative run play while trying to run out the clock with less than 30 seconds remaining until halftime. The Utes turned Jarek Broussards miscue into a 42-yard field goal by Jadon Redding as time expired to give the offense a little confidence boost. Ty Jordan shined in a matchup between two highly touted tailbacks. The freshman finished with 147 yards rushing. His counterpart, Broussard, started slow but finished with 80 yards, which was well below his 183.3 average. The Buffaloes suffered a huge blow in the first half when they lost linebacker Nate Landman to what could be a season-ending ankle injury. Using a scooter and wearing a leg brace, the emotional leader of the team returned to the sideline. His absence was felt in the second half. Jerry Rice gave The Buffaloes a 14-7 lead late in the first half with Colorados first punt return for a score since Sept. 9, 2017. Jerry Rice also scored on a bubble screen to put The Buffaloes up 21-10 moments in the the third quarter. The last Colorado player to record a TD on both a reception and a return( punt or kickoff) in the same game was Walter Stanley against Texas Tech on Sept. 12, 1981, according to the school. Rices feat felt bittersweet in light of the loss. Kind of hurts.

2. Collin Morikawa:

   Out here with the wind, no matter what it is, you just have to control your golf ball, so it doesn’t matter if you’re 150 yards or you’re 200 yards, you have to be able to know where you’re going to land certain shots, where you’re going to miss them.

3. Boston College:

   I want to reach whatever potential I can, so I dont have a (goal) for however many yards or average yards per carry, because the thing is, if my team needs me to run down the clock in the fourth quarter and Im getting a bunch of 1-yard gains, Im fine with that and Im happy with that. I dont really care what it might look like at the very end on the stat line.

4. Gretchen Whitmer:

   Threats continue, i have looked out my windows and seen large groups of heavily armed people within 30 yards of my home. I have seen myself hung in effigy. Days ago at a demonstration, there was a sign that called for ‘burning the witch.’.

5. Zahirul Islam:

   Three years ago there were about 80 yards, now it's down to 25. I think another 10-15 yards will go.
