12/10/20 - Shawn Davis, Sr/2021, Florida + More +

The Gators were down two safeties at Rocky Top, and that could be the case once again vs. LSU. Starter Shawn Davis and his backup at free safety, Rashad Torrence, are both questionable for the game according to Mullen. "We've got to see how the week goes for those two guys this week," he said. Davis ranks third on the team with 40 tackles in seven starts, while Torrence has appeared in nine games and registered 25 tackles. He started in place of Davis against Tennessee, but was injured on the second play from scrimmage. - Gainesville Sun

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 him 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 stretched 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 lead 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 majority 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 touchdown 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 different 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
