Cam Newton said that Urban Meyer and (then offensive coordinator) Dan Mullen drew up a play on the fly for the speedster Harvin. He then took the ball all the way down to the end zone without skipping a beat.

Harvin’s Florida Gators ended up winning that game 51-21, during a Harvin and Tim Tebow-led route.

While things didn’t go according to plan for Cam Newton at Florida, it appears that there is no hard feelings. Cam transferred to Auburn where he won a Heisman Trophy and a National Championship.

Percy Harvin and the Florida Gators would go on to win two titles under Urban Meyer. So, all is well that ends well. Harvin remains one of the most electric college football players of all-time.
