In those critical moments, coach Mike White wanted to gather all his players to pray for Keyontae Johnson as he was powerless in the face of what had just happened in a few seconds. After what happened, the game continued to play, although the Florida Gators players were seriously affected by what happened, since it was almost impossible to continue playing under these suffering conditions. The Florida State team managed to turn the score around.
They also had no news of how his partner and friend was, who was quickly transferred after the collapse suffered on the track. The situation had been truly dramatic and feared for his life, since the misinformation at that time was total and fear took over all the thoughts that passed through their heads.
