NOV 16 SEC DEFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Zachary Carter, DL, Florida,...Carter contributed to Florida's 63-35 win over Arkansas on Saturday with a 35-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown and added three tackles and a sack...Carter's fumble return for a touchdown was Florida's first defensive touchdown since Jonathan Greenard's 80-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Vanderbilt last season. - SEC Football

11/16/20 - Kyle Trask, rSr/2021, Florida, 6-5, 236 (DS#7 QB) + More +

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 Gators 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 Forest 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

11/14/20 - Kyle Trask, rSr/2021, Florida, 6-5, 236 (DS#7 QB) + More +

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 TDs 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 tossed 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 going 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 and 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 week. 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

11/09/20 - *Kyle Pitts, Jr/2021, Florida, 6-6, 245 (DS#1 TE) + More +

No. 6 Florida could be without standout tight end Kyle Pitts against Arkansas on Saturday because of a concussion. Coach Dan Mullen called Pitts questionable for the game. He was knocked out of last weekend's victory against Georgia in the second quarter when Lewis Cine delivered a crushing blow over the middle. Cine was ejected for targeting. Pitts spent the rest of the game in the locker room. The 6-foot-6 junior from Philadelphia has 24 receptions for 414 yards and a team-high eight touchdowns. His play has been instrumental in making the Gators (4-1) one of the most dynamic offenses in the Southeastern Conference and in the country. Florida ranks 11th nationally in scoring (42.4 points a game) and 17th in total offense (495.4 yards). - 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.

The 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 completed 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 crushing hit over the middle. Cine was ejected for targeting, adding to Georgia's already-thin defense. - AP College Football

Florida senior wide receiver Kadarius Toney touched the ball receiving, rushing and returning punts and scored three times in the Gators' 41-17 home win over Missouri. Toney caught touchdown passes on back-to-back plays from scrimmage in the second quarter, an 18-yard score and a 30-yard score. The first score erased a Mizzou lead, the second proved to be the game-winner. He lined up as wildcat quarterback and ran for a 16-yard score in the third quarter. - Savannah Morning News

Florida coach Dan Mullen has been issued a reprimand and fined $25,000 by the SEC for his role in the melee between UF and Missouri players and coaches at the end of the first half of Saturday night's game in The Swamp. Defensive linemen Zachary Carter and Antwuan Powell, who we ejected from the game, have been suspended from the first half of the Gators' game with Georgia in Jacksonville on Saturday. "I respect the decision from the conference office," Mullen said Monday. "As the head coach, it is my responsibility to defuse these types of situations, and I didn't live up to that standard."

Mullen ignited the situation when he sprinted onto the field to confront the officials after quarterback Kyle Trask took a late, high hit attempting to throw a Hail Mary pass on the final play of the half and no flag was thrown. Right behind their head coach, UF players charged toward the Missouri sideline, where there was pushing and shoving among multiple players from both teams and punches were thrown. The teams were separated after a few minutes and went to their respective locker rooms. There were no further incidents in the second half. Carter and Powell were ejected for fighting, while Missouri outside linebacker Tre Williams was tossed for a flagrant unsportsmanlike foul. Carter is a starter and Powell is a true freshman who likely will be redshirted this season. - Gainesville Sun

Toney continues to establish himself as one of the SEC's top playmakers and as potentially the second coming of a former dynamic playmaker from West Virginia - Tavon Austin. Toney has scored in each of Florida's first four games, including three touchdowns - two receiving and one rushing - during the 41-17 win over Mizzou. - Birmingham News

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. The Gators' easiest win of the season came after a COVID-19 outbreak forced the Southeastern Conference to postpone two of their games. It also included a benches-clearing scuffle at halftime that involved both coaches. Several players threw punches during the melee, but just three were ejected. The conference could hand down more punishments following a review. It could be costly for Florida (3-1), which plays rival and fifth-ranked Georgia next week in nearby Jacksonville. The game is likely to decide the winner of the East Division. - Florida/AP College Football

10/29/20 - Graham Mertz, rSr/2025, Florida, 6-3, 212 (DS#19 QB) + More +

A COVID-19 outbreak has put the University of Wisconsin football season on hold after just one game. The Badgers will pause football activities for at least seven days after a dozen people in the program, including coach Paul Chryst and starting quarterback Graham Mertz, tested positive for COVID-19 in the past five days. The Badgers, ranked No. 9 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, decided they cannot play their scheduled game Saturday at Nebraska. A Big Ten Conference spokesman said the game will not count toward either team's record. The 12 people who tested positive include six players and six staff members. The program is in the process of providing hotel rooms for seven days in order to separate players who live together to combat the virus' spread. UW athletic director Barry Alvarez said the program does not know what caused the outbreak. Additional test results are pending, meaning there are potentially more cases within the program. - Wisconsin State Journal
