By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Dan Mullen showed up after his team's testy victory against Missouri dressed as Darth Vader. Mullen insisted it was the only Halloween costume in the facility, not a conscious decision to play a villain. Nonetheless, it may have been the perfect role given Mullen's past few weeks. Kadarius Toney scored three times, Kyle Trask became the first player in school history with four touchdown passes in four consecutive games and the 10th-ranked Gators returned from a three-week layoff to handle Missouri 41-17 on Saturday night in the Swamp.

Born on May 15, 1969, in Pensacola, Florida Emmitt Smith wished to be one of the Dallas Cowboys from a young age but the enthusiastic individual had to face many struggles before he could pursue a career in professional football. Belonging to a financially weak family, Smith had to juggle between different jobs at a young age in order to support the house.
Despite of his personal troubles, Smith excelled as an athlete in school and went to play football at the University of Florida. As a part of the Florida Gators’ team, Smith quickly became a valuable asset, rushing more than 100 yards in his first game. While at the university, Smith set and broke his own record by rushing 14 touchdowns.
However, Smith dropped out of the University of Florida in 1990 in order to join his dream team, NFL’s Dallas Cowboys but later came back to earn a bachelor’s degree in public recreation. Excelling as a running back, Smith became an essential part of the team’s offense and stayed on board with the Cowboys for the next 12 seasons. Included in his victories during this time period is the team’s Super Bowl Championship victories in 1993, 1994 and 1996.
1995 proved to be his most fruitful year with a record of 1773 rushing yards and 62 receptions. It was also the year that Smith played the most number of games in a season and scored 25 touchdowns.
While playing for the Dallas Cowboys, Smith also earned the title of Rookie of the Year and eight Pro Bowl nods. At the Super Bowl XXVIII, he was specially recognized for his contributions and was awarded the Most Valuable Player in 1994. The previous year, he had been named NFL’s Most Valuable Year.
Smith also became the first player to rush for more than 1,000 yards in 11 seasons straight while also playing in several Pro Bowl games. In 2002, he became the best rusher in NFL history by beating Walter Payton’s rushing record. Emmitt Smith ended his NFL career in 2002 with record setting 18,335 yards, 164 touchdowns and 4409 carries.
