Florida quarterback Kyle Trask made his future plans official Thursday, formally announcing he's declining an opportunity to return to school and entering the NFL draft. No one thought Trask would stick around following a record-breaking season that incl uded being named a Heisman Trophy finalist. Even coach Dan Mullen made it clear he was moving forward with Emory Jones and Anthony Richardson at the position. Nonetheless, Trask made his announcement in a 2 minute, 19 second video released on social medi a. - AP College Football

Kyle Trask threw for 433 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 6 Florida beat Tennessee 31-19 on Saturday to clinch a spot in the SEC championship game. Trask, a front-runner for the Heisman Trophy, put together another impressive performance. He completed 35 of 49 passes without committing a turnover. He even had a 32-yard punt late in the game. Kyle Pitts had seven receptions for 128 yards, helping the Gators (8-1, No. 6 CFP) wrap up the SEC's East Division. Kadarius Toney finished with eight catches for 108 yards and a TD. The aerial performance by Trask and company took on added significance with Florida struggling to run the ball, finishing with just 21 yards on the ground. Playing with a depleted roster, Tennessee (2-6) dropped its sixth consecutive game. The Vols were missing 16 players.Freshman Harrison Bailey got the start at quarterback. He completed 14 of 21 passes for 111 yards and a 15-yard touchdown to Eric Gray. He was sacked five times. Trask has 38 TD passes this season, moving hi m into sixth place in SEC history for a single season, ahead of Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and Tim Couch of Kentucky. He has the most TD passes through a team's first nine games. Five plays into the second half, the outcome was all but decided. Florida s tretched a 10-point halftime advantage to 24-7 with a 75-yard drive capped by an 8-yard pass from Trask to Trevon Grimes. The big play in the sequence was a 48-yard connection between Trask and Kyle Pitts. Early in the fourth quarter, Florida upped the l ead to 31-7 when Trask found Jacob Copeland for a 12-yard TD. - Florida/AP College Football

With the college football regular season stretching well into December this year, we're still a few weeks from a conclusion. But it seems increasingly likely the Heisman winner will be determined in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Alabama quarterback Mac Jones and Florida quarterback Kyle Trask are neck and neck in this week's USA TODAY Network Heisman survey, with their teams on a collision course to meet Dec. 19 in Atlanta. Trask continues to hold the lead for now, named first by a majo rity of the official Heisman voters who work for USA TODAY Network properties. The Gators' signal caller has 34 touchdown passes and has thrown for at least three scores in all eight of Florida's games. He has 2,810 yards through the air, completing 71.4 % of his attempts with just three interceptions. - Montgomery Advertiser

At a program that had aerial wizardry under Steve Spurrier during the 1990s and the electric tandem of Tebow and Percy Harvin under Urban Meyer in the mid-2000s, the current Gators are on pace to be statistically superior in a coronavirus-altered season that has not allowed for the feasting on cupcakes such as Idaho and UT-Martin. Florida is averaging 7.41 yards per play, topping the 7.40-yards averaged by the 1995 Gators that had junior quarterback Danny Wuerffel. Trask leads the nation with 34 touchdo wn passes and is well within Wuerffel's single-season program mark of 39, which he compiled in 1996 on his way to the Heisman Trophy. The 6-5, 240-pound Trask is averaging 351.3 passing yards per game on an offense that is compiling 509.3 yards a contest ."Dan has always done a really good job as a play-caller based off the personnel he has on his team," Pruitt said. "You look at them right now, and they're efficient running the football and throwing the football. They get the ball to a lot of dif ferent receivers and a lot of different running backs, and he's always done a fantastic job of mixing it up. "They're probably throwing it more now that they ever have, but that's based off his team, right? They've got a very good quarterback with a good surrounding cast. He's just playing to his strengths, and he's always done a good job of that." - Chattanooga Times Free Press

Florida's Kyle-to-Kyle connection returned in a big way after a two-week hiatus and put the sixth-ranked Gators on the verge of the Southeastern Conference championship game. Kyle Trask found Kyle Pitts for three touchdowns, including a 56-yarder in whic h the star tight end ran away from a cornerback, and Florida overcame a sluggish start to beat Kentucky 34-10 Saturday in the Swamp. It was Pitts' first game since suffering a concussion and breaking his nose on a vicious hit against Georgia. Trask waste d little time reconnecting with his favorite and most talented target.Trask has 34 TD passes this season, moving him past 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and into a tie for third on the school's single-season list. Only Danny Wuerffel (39 in 1996, 35 in 1995) is ahead of him. Rex Grossman also threw 34 in 2001. Trask did break one of Wuerffel's records Saturday. He became the first player in school history with at least three TD passes in eight consecutive games, topping Wuerffel's mark of s even set in 1996. Trask is on pace to pass Wuerffel for TDs, too, and it could happen in his final two regular-season games. More importantly for Trask and the Gators (7-1), though, is they can clinch the East Division with a victory at Tennessee next we ek. - Florida/AP College Football

Everyone has their Heisman Trophy favorite, including back-up Florida quarterback Emory Jones. His is the guy in front of him - Kyle Trask. "I don't think anybody in the country is playing the way he is right now," Jones said. "Just the way he's operatin g and managing the game, I feel like that's the guy who's going to actually win the Heisman. The things he's doing are crazy. I don't think anybody is playing that well. It's pretty exciting."Trask is clearly one of the Heisman leaders at this poi nt. If the Gators keep winning and he keeps producing like he has, he very well could end up being the guy. "You're seeing players that are winning awards are on really good football teams," UF coach Dan Mullen said. "So, it's pretty easy to just keep th e focus on the team, the team winning. If we keep winning and we're successful, Kyle's going to be putting up pretty good numbers. And he'll have the opportunity to get some individual awards. "He won't be the only one. Hopefully, there's other guys on t he team that certainly have the opportunity with individual awards as well. But you increase your chances of that as long as the team does good." - Gainesville Sun

The Florida quarterback's big break came last season in Lexington. Pressed into action after Feleipe Franks was injured, Trask rallied the Gators from 21-10 down after three quarters to victory. The performance established Trask as UF's starting QB. This year, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound product of Manvel, Texas, has emerged as, arguably, the Heisman Trophy favorite. Trask leads the nation in touchdown passes (31), is fourth in passing yards per game (364.8) and sixth in pass efficiency rating (197.1). - He rald Leader

For those who think Florida quarterback Kyle Trask has been ridiculously good so far this season, just wait. You ain't seen nothin' yet. At least that's the word from two of his wide receivers - senior Trevon Grimes and sophomore Justin Shorter. "Honestl y, (nothing he does surprises me). I see it every day at practice," Grimes said. "He goes out there and does things you guys haven't even seen yet. He is a phenomenal quarterback. He makes throws I've never seen before. He places balls in places that you wouldn't even expect to be able to go to. "So, for me he is not surprising at all. We know what he can do, and he has a lot more to tap into, and I can't wait until he does and shows the world how good of a quarterback he really is and the potential he has. Even though he has done some crazy things already, he has a lot more to go."Shorter shares the outside receiver spot with Grimes, and he also shares Grimes' take on Trask. "He's just a great guy," Shorter said. "I remember since the first day I met him and we just shook hands and he's just a great guy, all-around dude and I just can't wait to see what he's going to do, literally - like, each game that we played, even in practice some of the throws he makes. I just can't believe that he even makes the throws and fits it in those spots. But, he's been doing that literally since we started throwing over the summer. So, I'm just really happy that he's my quarterback." - Gainesville Sun

Kyle Trask passed for 383 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 6 Florida rallied from an early deficit to beat Vanderbilt 38-17 on Saturday. The Gators (6-1, 6-1 Southeastern Conference) pulled into Vanderbilt Stadium an hour before kickoff already in uni form, hoping to avoid the visitors locker room as a coronavirus precaution. The Commodores (0-7, 0-7) opened the game by driving for a touchdown, but Trask helped get Florida on track for its seventh consecutive win in the series. Trask, a Heisman Trophy hopeful, completed 26 of 35 passes to nine different receivers. He is the first quarterback in SEC history to accrue 30 touchdown passes in seven games.Vanderbilt drove 75 yards on 11 plays in the opening series, scoring on Ken Seals' 16-yard pas s to Chris Pierce Jr. with 10:50 left in the first quarter. The Gators tied it less than three minutes later. Trask found wider receiver Kadarius Toney wide open around the 15-yard line, and Toney carried the ball in the end zone to complete a 27-yard pl ay at 7:47. Vanderbilt countered with Pierson Cooke's 25-yard field goal on the next drive, and the Gators tied it at 10 when Evan McPherson kicked a 33-yarder at 4:13 of the second quarter. Trask threw a 34-yard TD pass to Trevon Grimes with 49 seconds left until halftime for a 17-10 lead, and Dameon Price rushed in from a yard out for a 24-10 advantage early in the second half. With 2:55 left in the third, Trask found tight end Kemore Gamble in the back of the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown pass. - F lorida/AP College Football

Joe Burrow set the Football Bowl Subdivision record with 60 touchdown passes last year, an incredible feat accomplished in a 15-game national championship season for LSU. The way Florida's Kyle Trask is going, 60 would be very possible for him if not for the COVID-19 pandemic shortening schedules. Trask, after throwing for six TDs for a second time this season in sixth-ranked Florida's 63-35 win over Arkansas, has 28 in six games. If he continues his pace of 4.67 per game, he would throw 56 if the Gator s play all 10 of their regular-season games, go to the SEC championship game and play in a bowl. If he carried it through one or two College Football Playoff games, the record would be in sight.Only four FBS quarterbacks have thrown for more than 50 TDs in a season. Trask had five of his six TDs against Arkansas in the first half, and his 28 TDs are the most through six games in SEC history. The fifth-year senior goes on the road this week to face a Vanderbilt defense that's allowed opponents to throw for 15 touchdowns, third-most in the SEC, and complete better than 72% of their passes. Trask's body of work has overshadowed North Carolina's Sam Howell and Central Florida's Dillon Gabriel. Howell threw six TD passes in a 59-53 win over Wake Fore st and has 23 in eight games. Gabriel has had five TD passes in a game twice this season and has 23 in seven games. - AP College Football

Kyle Trask has gone from Heisman hopeful to potential Heisman Trophy front-runner in two months, much of it coming in the last two weeks. Trask threw for 356 yards and six touchdowns, extending his school record for consecutive games with at least four T Ds to six, and No. 6 Florida overwhelmed Arkansas 63-35 on Saturday night in the Swamp. Trask repeatedly torched the Razorbacks (3-4), who were without coach Sam Pittman and without much of a chance by halftime. It was the second time this season Trask t ossed six TDs in a game. He's the only player in school history to accomplish that feat. "The more success teams have sometimes, the more individual awards come," coach Dan Mullen said. "If we keep being successful as a team, we keep making plays, he's g oing to have the opportunity to get individual awards."Arkansas quarterback Feleipe Franks, a three-year starter for the Gators (5-1), was booed early in his return to Florida Field and unable to do much to steal the spotlight from Trask. Florida players and coaches lined up to hug Franks after the game, and the home crowd responded with a warm ovation as he left the stadium for the last time. "It's awesome, man, just to be just to be around those guys and see the excitement they had to see me an d me to see them," Franks said. "It's fun. You love the game, that's what you play it for, the relationships you build along the way." Trask, meanwhile, started a new streak by throwing at least four TD passes in the first half for the second straight we ek. He had five in Florida's first six drives and might have had another had the Gators not failed to convert a fourth-down play at the Arkansas 16. - AP College Football

Kyle Trask had another four-touchdown night, becoming the first quarterback in Southeastern Conference history to accomplish the feat in five consecutive games, and No. 8 Florida beat fifth-ranked and undermanned Georgia 44-28 on Saturday. The Gators (4- 1) ended a three-game losing streak in the rivalry known as the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" - it was coach Dan Mullen's most significant victory in three years in Gainesville - and now have a stranglehold on the SEC's East Division.Th e Bulldogs (4-2), who entered the game as 3 1/2-point favorites, were likely eliminated from College Football Playoff consideration and probably have a quarterback competition moving forward. Florida, meanwhile, has a Heisman Trophy contender. Trask comp leted 30 of 43 passes for a career-high 474 yards - 8 yards shy of Tim Tebow's single-game school record - despite playing much of the night without standout tight end Kyle Pitts. Pitts was knocked out of the game in the second quarter on Lewis Cine's cr ushing hit over the middle. Cine was ejected for targeting, adding to Georgia's already-thin defense. - AP College Football

During his career, whenever he's been called on, he's been ready to take over and lead the offense. "Just his preparation," UF coach Dan Mullen said. "He constantly prepares so he is ready to go when he gets his opportunity to get on the field. He's done that throughout his whole career, so that when you put him out there, he's been prepared for his opportunity and we expect the same. "He prepared when he wasn't a starter to be ready to go to get on the field. When he got his opportunities he showed tha t he was ready to go do that."Mullen said nothing has changed since Trask took over as the starter at Kentucky last season. He's ready. Always ready. Mullen has used Trask's approach to every practice, every game, as an example to the other player s. "When he became the starter, he did a great job of preparing for each game so that when Saturday comes he's ready to go play at an extremely high level and give everything that he has on the field," Mullen said. "We talk about that, that we can contr ol our effort and our preparation and we can control our attitude, all the little things we can control. He does a great job of controlling what he can control so he's prepared to go play Saturday." - Gainesville Sun

UF players say they win or lose as a team. That there is no finger-pointing following the loss at Texas A&M on Saturday. Florida quarterback Kyle Trask said the Gators aren't going to be playing the blame game in the wake of Saturday's loss to Texas A&M, a game where the defense melted down and the offense had a turnover that led to the winning field goal on the last play of the game. "The last thing you want to do is finger point," Trask said Monday. "You're still on the same team. The game on Saturday 's was a game that we should have won. Just a few plays decided it. If we just play clean football there at the end, we're 3-0 right now. "We're just going to reflect on the game and how we can keep improving. It's just going to make us stronger and bett er."Trask said there's no feeling among the offensive players that the Gators need to score on every possession in order to win games. "If that's how you feel, you end up pointing fingers at each other and that's not how our team is," he said. "It was either a win or a loss in the column as a team, together. "Our goal is to score on every single drive. It doesn't have anything to do with how (our defense) is performing. We don't want to just play good enough to win. We want to play to our standar ds. If we score on every single drive, we'll beat anybody we play." - Gainesville Sun

Quarterback Kyle Trask had four more touchdown passes against South Carolina, which is a good thing. He also had two turnovers - a fumble and an interception - and that's not a good thing. Those turnovers have caught his attention. "Definitely, I can't p ut the ball on the ground. It's unacceptable. Just eliminating those, you know, those little things, those little small plays, turnovers, things like that. Just to play as consistent as I possibly can, it's just my goal every week." Both of his turnovers were turned into touchdowns by the Gamecocks. - Gainesville Sun

Kyle Trask and Kyle Pitts hooked up for two more touchdowns, continuing their hot start and leading No. 3 Florida to a 38-24 victory over South Carolina on Saturday. Trask completed 21 of 29 passes for 268 yards, with four touchdowns and an interception. His second-quarter fumble kept the Gamecocks (0-2) in the game early. Pitts finished with four receptions for 57 yards, commanding extra attention and beating South Carolina's top defenders. He nearly made a one-handed catch in the third quarter, but th e ball slipped off his left fingertips. The K2K connection now has six touchdowns in two games, one more than it notched in 2019. The next performance comes at Kyle Field, where Texas A&M will try to become the first Southeastern Conference opponent to s low down Trask and Pitts in 2020.Some thought former Florida coach Will Muschamp and his Gamecocks would find a way. But the Gators (2-0) had their way with South Carolina for three quarters in front of 15,120 socially distant fans in the Swamp. T hey finished with 347 yards and punted twice. Kadarius Toney put an exclamation point on the victory with a 57-yard touchdown catch late in the third. He somehow broke through three defenders, turning a 7-yard catch into Florida's biggest gain. He ended with six receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown to go along with 42 yards on two punt returns. - Florida/AP College Football

Mullen believes in this coronavirus-impaired 2020, with no spring practice, offenses might get the jump this season. The opening SEC weekend featured a combined 4,204 passing yards in seven games, including Trask throwing for 416 yards and six touchdowns , a UF record in an SEC road game. "Kyle has improved from last year, his mechanics were beautiful the other day," Spurrier said of Trask. "I mean, three-quarter overhand [throws], almost a perfect spiral every ball, his footwork. Man, he looked good. Ky le is such a good, quiet leader, a lot like [1996 Heisman Trophy winner] Danny Wuerffel and quarterbacks that sort of lead by example. "Players really love the guy and that builds team chemistry because he gives credit to teammates and coaches. As a coac h, he's the kind of guy you hope you have as a quarterback." It's not just Trask. The Gators, despite losing four receivers to the NFL, may have one of the more prolific offenses in college football because tight end Kyle Pitts (8 catches, 171 yards, 4 T Ds) is a huge weapon. During his 12 seasons as the Gators' coach, Spurrier never had a tight end who was remotely close to Pitts as a matchup nightmare. - Gainesville Sun

Kyle Pitts caught four of Kyle Trask's six touchdown passes and No. 5 Florida spoiled the head coaching debut of Mississippi's Lane Kiffin with a 51-35 victory Saturday. Trask completed 30 of 42 passes for 416 yards including touchdown passes of 1, 16, 7 1 and 17 yards to Pitts. The star tight end had 170 yards receiving. Trask directed four consecutive touchdown drives that spanned the second and third quarters to build a 41-14 lead for the Gators (1-0 Southeastern Conference).Kiffin, the former Tennessee and USC head coach who came to Ole Miss from FAU, had the Rebels' offense humming with Matt Corral at quarterback. Corral completed 22 of 31 passes for 395 yards and three touchdowns passes, two to Dontario Drummond. But they couldn't stop the Gators. Ole Miss (0-1) tied it at 14 midway through the second quarter before yielding to the Trask-led Florida outburst. The teams combined for 1,255 yards of total offense, including 642 by the Gators. Trevon Grimes and Kedarius Toney had touchdown rec eptions of 22 and 16 yards respectively, for Florida. Jerrion Ealy had two touchdown runs for the Rebels. - AP College Football

Even though Kyle Trask was just "OK" in Monday night's scrimmage, Florida coach Dan Mullen said his starting quarterback has clearly made strides in his development since last season. "He was OK. I don't think yesterday was his best day," Mullen said Tue sday. "But he has improved (his footwork, accuracy and decision making). You're always going to have little off days here and there. I thought he was a little crisper in scrimmage one. "We gave him a little bit more work yesterday than we did in scrimmag e one as we continue to build up and get ready to go. But I have seen him improve - his decision making, his leadership, and we're putting a lot more on him right now. He has really improved the speed of how he decides things and just, obviously, which i s a big one, his knowledge of the game."Mullen said Trask has almost become like another coach, sitting in on game plan meetings and offering his input about what plays he thinks will and won't work. "He comes and spends extra time in game plan me etings," Mullen said. "He wants to sit in knowing we're meeting. He wants to sit around. As a grad student, it helps he has a little more time on his hands. He's always around the office. He'll have input just because of his experience and he's played an d he knows he has input on the game plan. "On top of that he has a lot of control at the line of scrimmage. He has a lot of freedom to call his own calls, call plays and check in to plays at the line of scrimmage." - Times Union

No one knows yet whether there will be a college football season in 2020. But just about everyone has a pretty good idea what the financial impact will be if there isn't one. It would be devastating, potentially crippling, for schools across the country. At the University of Florida, football is the financial engine that drives the athletic department and its overall 21 sports teams. In the 2019 fiscal year, football generated a profit of $47,950,819, while men's basketball was the only other sport with a profit, bringing in $2,455,291. The 19 other programs finished the year $33,528,175 in the red. So, a season without football could deliver a dire financial blow to UF. But, for now, the University Athletic Association isn't plotting strategy and brac ing for a potential financial crisis in the fall, and possibly beyond. UF is preparing as if the football season will go on as scheduled, starting on Sept. 5 in The Swamp vs. Eastern Washington.It's not necessarily a bold or optimistic strategy. I t's a matter of following the advice SEC commissioner Greg Sankey passed on to the league's 14 schools two weeks ago: "Our responsibility right now is to prepare for what's next, and what's next is the upcoming season," he said. So, at this stage, the Ga tors are planning for football in the fall, with the idea that fans will be in the stands. "Obviously, there is a lot of speculation out there," UF athletic director Scott Stricklin said. "If Sept. 5 comes and we're expected to be hosting people, we need to be prepared to do that. We can always adjust (to not having fans). - Gainesville Sun

After going 21-5 and leading the Florida Gators to consecutive New Year's Six bowl games in his first two seasons in Gainesville, head football coach Dan Mullen is due a raise and a contract extension. He's going to get both. It's just a matter of when n ow. UF athletic director Scott Stricklin said last week that he's been in discussions with Mullen's agent about a contract extension, but does not have a timetable for closing the deal. "I don't know," Stricklin said. "I expect Dan to be here a long time ."There were indications from Stricklin and Mullen at the end of the 2019 regular season in December that a contract extension and raise would be coming for Mullen. At that time Mullen's name had come up as a possible candidate for several NFL job s, mainly Dallas, where the Cowboys' quarterback is Dak Prescott, who Mullen coached and developed at Mississippi State. Mullen said he was flattered by the perceived interest from the NFL and considered it a compliment, but had no intention of leaving U F at this stage of his coaching career. "I know what I have here," Mullen said in December. "I love being here. I think we're building a championship program here. - Gainesville Sun

Florida receiver Kadarius Toney stopped in the end zone, struck a pose and pointed to the scoreboard as Florida State players walked by. He was taunting the rival Seminoles -- at halftime. The game was essentially over at that point, and everyone knew it . Kyle Trask threw three first-half touchdown passes, including two to Freddie Swain, and the eighth-ranked Gators hammered the Seminoles 40-17 to end a four-game, home losing streak in the series. "That's bragging rights for your neighbors," said Florid a's Dan Mullen, who improved to 6-0 in his coaching career against FSU. The Gators (10-2, No. 11 CFP) locked up consecutive 10-win seasons for the first time in a decade, finished unbeaten at home for the first time in four years and celebrated their fir st winning streak against FSU since 2009.Florida scored touchdowns on four of its first five possessions, needing two fourth-down conversions to get the first two, and was able to start celebrating long before the final seconds ticked off the cloc k. "I think it was just a big statement for us," Trask said. "We haven't been getting a whole lot of respect around the country." Pass-happy and pretty much one-dimensional, Florida picked apart FSU's beleaguered defense -- a rarity in a series that typi cally features stout defenses. Trask completed 30 of 41 passes for 343 yards, including two short ones to Swain that went for scores. One of 22 seniors recognized before their home finale, Swain caught a screen pass, waited for a block, split two defende rs and sprinted 19 yards to cap the opening drive. He made it 20-7 in the second quarter when he broke a tackle near the sideline, outran one defender and bowled through another at the goal line. - Florida/AP College Football

Kyle Trask threw two touchdown passes after a sluggish first half by No. 11 Florida and the Gators beat Missouri 23-6 on Saturday. Trask completed 23 of 35 passes for 282 yards. That was plenty of offense for Florida (9-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference), w hich held Missouri to 204 total yards. Linebacker Jon Greenard spent most of the day in the Tigers' backfield, finishing with two sacks and five tackles for loss. The Tigers (5-5, 2-4) have lost four straight games and haven't scored a touchdown in the l ast two. Florida led 6-3 after a first half in which the teams combined for 10 punts. The Gators struggled up front offensively in the first half, allowing four sacks to a team that had only 14 sacks on the season entering the game. They gained just 29 y ards on the ground before intermission and finished with 56 rushing yards.It was a similar story for Missouri, which welcomed Kelly Bryant back at quarterback after he missed last week's game at Georgia with a hamstring injury. Bryant repeatedly s lipped out of the arms of blitzers to extend plays, but the Tigers struggled to put drives together without any help from its running game. Bryant completed 25 of 38 passes for 204 yards and one interception. Missouri's only scores came on two Tucker McC ann field goals. The Gators finally got going in the third quarter when Trask connected with Josh Hammond for a 34-yard touchdown pass and hit Lamical Perine for a 15-yard TD. Van Jefferson finished with six catches for 82 yards, and Trevon Grimes had th ree catches for 66 yards. - AP College Football

Kyle Trask didn't really know what to call his first touchdown pass of the day. He thought about it for a few seconds before settling on "kind of a free throw shot." If so, his last two scores were breakaways dunks. Trask threw for a career-high 363 yard s and three touchdowns -- the best passing performance by a Florida quarterback since Tim Tebow's college finale -- and the 10th-ranked Gators overcame a lackluster start to thump Vanderbilt 56-0 Saturday. "I think we could have put up a lot more," Trask said. Florida (8-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) was sluggish early, failing to convert a fourth down on the opening possession against the league's worst defense, missing a field goal and throwing two interceptions.It looked like another version of the "Cocktail Party Hangover," which seems to happen every year after losing to rival Georgia in the game dubbed the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party." But the Gators responded with their most dominant quarter of the season, turning a 14-0 lea d into a laugher in the Swamp. They ended up outgaining Vanderbilt 560-128 and winning their sixth straight in the series and 28th in the last 29 years overall. "It was a good feeling to get the bad taste out of our mouths," said safety Donovan Stiner, w ho had two interceptions in Florida's third shutout of the season. Trask completed 25 of 37 passes, with TD passes to Lamical Perine, Trevon Grimes and Kyle Pitts. The junior also ran for a score before giving way to Emory Jones. - Florida/AP College Foo tball

For three quarters, Kyle Trask saw the overthrows and ineffective runs, the penalties and missed assignments. He knew something had to change. It finally did. Trask threw three of his career-high four touchdowns in the final period Saturday to rally the No. 9 Gators to a 38-27 win at South Carolina. Trask, sensing the game slipping away, told his teammates: "This isn't us." He then helped the Gators (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) avoid a second straight loss after falling at No. 2 LSU 42-28 last wee k. "We found our identity and started making plays," he said.This season, the identity of Florida's offense is very much in Trask's hands. The redshirt junior, starting because of an injury to Feleipe Franks, has led the Gators to their best start since 2015. After a week off, Trask will bring Florida to a final, defining stretch with games against No. 10 Georgia, Vanderbilt and SEC East-leading Missouri in the chase for a spot in the SEC title game. Things didn't look promising through the third quarter. South Carolina (3-4, 2-3) held Florida in check and took a 20-17 lead in trying for its second consecutive win over a top 10 opponent after beating then-No. 3 Georgia in double overtime last week. "We have a very resilient team," Trask said. "W e're never going to panic, no matter the situation." - Florida/AP College Football

Florida quarterback Kyle Trask said his sprained knee is "progressing along nicely." Trask was wearing a compression sleeve and a brace on his left knee Monday, two days after injuring it on a play coach Dan Mullen now regrets calling "dirty" during a 24 -13 victory over then-No. 7 Auburn. Trask said the pain is subsiding and he expects it to feel even better by the time the Gators (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) play at fifth-ranked LSU (5-0, 1-0) on Saturday night. "It's definitely better today than it's been," he said. "It's been getting better every single day. The pain is kind of going away now."Trask injured his knee on a low hit by Auburn defensive lineman Marlon Davidson, who was shoved into Trask by left tackle Stone Forsythe. Mullen was critical of Davidson at halftime, telling CBS that "hopefully the league really tries to keep quarterbacks safe from dirty plays." Mullen backed off his comments slightly after the game, but conceded Monday that he shouldn't have used the word "dirty ." "Maybe the use of that word, maybe that wasn't the right word at the time," Mullen said. "I don't think that was being coached or there was intent to go injure him on that play. I think that's something, when you look at player safety, we've got to re ally pay attention. I know as a league everyone wants to preach player safety, player safety, player safety. Talk about it, but what are we doing about it?" Mullen added that the play would have been flagged in the NFL, which has stricter rules about hit ting quarterbacks high and low. - AP College Football

Kyle Trask threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, helping No. 9 Florida beat lower-division Towson 38-0 Saturday and extend its winning streak to nine. Trask set a school record in the process. The junior making his second collegiate start complet ed 15 consecutive passes to open the game, giving him 18 straight completions and breaking Chris Leak's mark (17) set against Wyoming in 2005. Trask's hot streak ended with an incompletion to Jacob Copeland early in the third quarter. He responded with a perfect throw to Kyle Pitts in the corner of the end zone for his second TD pass of the afternoon.Trask finished 18-of-20 passing for 188 yards, giving way to Emory Jones in the fourth quarter. Trask showed progress by not having any turnovers. H e threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in his first start , against Tennessee. He was considerably more efficient, as expected, against the overmatched Tigers (3-2). The Gators (5-0) need it to continue as they begin a daunting October against seven th-ranked Auburn next week. Although Florida won the game and covered the 35 1/2-point spread, it also struggled to run the ball early. Coach Dan Mullen's team mustered 60 yards on 16 carries in the first half. Towson moved the ball well, meanwhile, endi ng its first two drives with a fumble and a missed field goal. - Florida/AP College Football

Kyle Trask threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns in his first start in nearly seven years and No. 9 Florida beat slumping Tennessee 34-3 Saturday, extending the Gators' dominance in a series that used to be the most prominent in the Southeastern Confere nce's Eastern Division. Trask's first collegiate start was far from perfect, though. The fourth-year junior lost a fumble and threw two interceptions against the Volunteers (1-3, 0-1 SEC) But he did enough to overcome those miscues and lead Florida (4-0, 2-0) to its 14th win in its last 15 games against Tennessee. Trask completed 20 of 28 passes, none better than the ones that went for touchdowns to Kyle Pitts and Freddie Swain.Trask connected with Pitts for a 19-yard score on the opening drive o f the game and then hooked up with Swain for a 29-yarder to cap Florida's first possession of the second half. Not bad for a backup. Trask played behind current Houston starter D'Eriq King at Manvel (Texas) High for three seasons and spent the last three years behind Feleipe Franks, who gruesomely dislocated and fractured his right ankle in a 29-21 victory at Kentucky last weekend. Trask last started a game in 2012 for Manvel's freshman A team. Tennessee's performance was mostly a debacle, especially ea rly. - Florida/AP College Football

Kyle Trask relieved an injured Feleipe Franks and rallied No. 9 Florida with three fourth-quarter touchdown drives, including his go-ahead, 4-yard scoring run with 4:11 remaining that lifted the Gators to a 29-21 victory over Kentucky on Saturday night. Franks, the Gators' third-year starter, was carted off with a right leg injury late in the third quarter with his team trailing 21-10. Stopped for no gain on fourth-and-1 at the Kentucky 38, Franks appeared to bend backward on the play. Medical personnel placed an inflatable cast under his right leg and he was taken off to applause from the sellout crowd. Trask entered and led Florida (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) on a 62-yard drive, ending with Lamical Perine's 8-yard TD run to get the Gators with in 21-16.Shawn Davis's interception with 6:05 to go gave the Gators another opportunity, and Trask capitalized with his go-ahead touchdown. The two-point conversion failed, though, and Kentucky (2-1, 0-1) had a final chance to regain the lead. But Chance Poore's 35-yard field-goal attempt with 54 seconds left was wide right, and Josh Hammond's 76-yard TD run three plays later helped Florida avenge last year's loss in Gainesville. Sawyer Smith accounted for all three Kentucky touchdowns with scori ng passes of 26 and 13 yards sandwiched around his 2-yard run. Making his first Kentucky start a week after Terry Wilson was lost for the season with a torn left patellar tendon, the junior completed his first nine passes for 119 yards. He finished 23 of 35 passing for 267 yards, but also threw three interceptions. - Florida/AP College Football
