While the defense came up big, the running game got off the ground and Florida football smacked a Southeastern Conference rival, all eyes were on Kyle Trask.
And, the redshirt junior didn’t disappoint, turning in a performance not seen by a Gator quarterback in several seasons. It was enough to lead No. 8 Florida to a 34-3 win over Tennessee Saturday afternoon.
Trask, in his first career start, went 20-for-28 for 294 yards, two touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 168.6.
Those two touchdown passes were a 19-yard pass to tight end Kyle Pitts in the first quarter and a 29-yard pass to Freddie Swain in the third quarter.
