Pick any one RB in Gator history from 2 yards out to win the game..

Errict Rhett

 

Emmitt, and his tree trunk legs.

 

Many good options, Id go with John L Williams.

 

I'll take Percy Harvin please (he lined up in the backfield quite a bit... )

 

My first 2 options for 2 yards aren't even traditional RBs

Tebow
Harvin

Emmitt was before my time. But my time hasn't produced exceptional RBs so I will default to the HOFer and all time leading rusher in the NFL.

 

Red Bethea

 

Dameon Pierce — just so I could see him actually in the game getting the ball when we’re on the goal line instead of some other back. Lost track of how many times I screamed at the TV in the years when he was here and we are on the goal line and he unbelievably was watching from the sideline.

 

Any list of best Gator RB begins with Emmitt Smith. It's tempting to mention Rhett, Pierce, FredT, or C4, but if I need a two yd TD and only get to pick one, I'm going with Emmitt.

Play: I formation, toss sweep. John L Williams as the up back leading the way.

 

Emmitt Smith. I usually don’t say this about guys but…check out his thighs. Huge!

 

Tebow.

Ya, I know, not technically a running back. But who do you have more faith in that the job WILL get done than him?

 

Not to take away from the RB of choice here but I think what line they run behind also needs attention. If you say Emmitt with his line to run behind, or Anderson/Williams/Hampton running behind the Great Wall of Florida, or Tebow/Harvin running behind the Pounceys each group of linemen deserve notice. If the RB stays with their line I'd go with Anderson/Williams behind the Great Wall. You could argue that Emmitt was good with or without much blocking but why not choose the best slobber knockers when you can.

 

Fred Taylor or Tebow…. From 2 yards out gotta give it to Taylor, solely based on FSU at ‘97….
“Jacquez Green torched Samari Rolle on a hitch and go route, setting Florida up inside the Seminoles’ 20-yard line. Taylor bulldozed his way off left tackle to the 2, and then plunged into the end zone a play later, sending The Swamp into delirium.”

Spot on, especially since Anderson could take off at the two yard line and land two yards in the end zone.

 

From 2 yards out need some serious leg power.

Fred
Emmitt
Rhett
C4
Williams

 

Fred Taylor or Errict Rhett.

 

Errict Rhett. Not even close.

 

Forget how good Emmitt was.

 

In this specific situation, I would say Dameon Pierce. Dude is strong.
