This is fun. Stay with me. Emmitt averaged 5.6 yards per carry at UF. Eric averaged 4.8 in the SOS offense so they never really knew when was coming. The def, ALWAYS knew Emmitt was our offense. Emmit had almost 4000 yards rushing in 3 years, Eric had just over 4000 in 4 years. Emmitt is #1 and #2 in best season rushing yardage and and the top two games rushing (one is over 200 yards AT BAMA they didnt know what hit them). He is behind only Timmy in career TDs and best Season in TDs. To be fair Timmy got a lot more touches near the goal line and they had to play the pass against him, too. In the top six rushing games over 100 years of gator football Emmitt has three of them.
Dont get me wrong. I LOVED ERIC Rhett, Ranks up there with other great ones. Great work ethic and just a super gator. Got fckdd at Tampa Bay with his agent making him hold out. Emmitt in a very tough SEC averaged almost 6 yards a carry his freshman year. That is amazing.
btw Herschel only averaged 5.3 yards per carry his career for the dwags.........
