His 3 seasons at Florida he kept the Gators above .500 despite probation and scholarships with another probation looming. He willed the Gators to a shocking win over LSU in 1989. I watched a replay of the game because I was too young to recall it. I mean you knew what # the Gators were going to call # 22. He caught balls and rushed left, right, and up the middle. The next day the Galen Hall was fired and Gary Darnell took over. The Gators were in turmoil with firings, probation,and gambling suspensions of star players. Through it all Emmitt gave the Gator Nation hope. The last image I have of Emmitt was in Jordan-Hare Stadium rushing for a TD to win, but was caught from behind 10 yards short. He fell to his knees and cried because he felt he let his team down, we Gators loved him for it and we always will. As a Cowboy fan I was excited they drafted him and he didn't disappoint.
