He was part of their "BMW" rushing attack.

I also saw Emmitt Smith play high school football for Escambia High. I was in flight school at the time, and my buds were saying, "you have to see this RB for Escambia, he will be in the NFL." Yeah, pretty amazing and they were definitely right...lol

I was a huge basketball fan when I was at Tech, and only thought of football as a fun event as we waited for basketball season. But when I went to flight school, it was "college football" 24/7. It was in the heart of SEC territory, and basketball just wasn't very important. That's when I became a huge college football fan.

Frankly it wasn't until Seth arrived that I started taking a strong interest in VT basketball again. Buzz pushed that up to another level. Got to say I'm a HUGE Mike Young fan!
