Florida quarterback Kyle Trask clenched his fists in frustration and yelled at himself as he trudged dejectedly to the Gators’ sideline.
Following Trask’s third straight, drive-ending interception to open the Cotton Bowl, his record-setting run this season had hit a wall Wednesday night at AT&T Stadium outside of Dallas. The Gators soon would following during a 55-20 beatdown by Oklahoma.
With more than two dozen family members on hand in his home state, but several of his top playmakers back in Florida, Trask’s storybook rise to the top of the sport would not have a happy ending.
