Trask fielded a FaceTime call Saturday night from Gators icon Danny Wuerffel after Trask broke Wuerffel’s single-season touchdown mark during a loss to LSU. A day later, Trask received effusive praise from Alabama coach Nick Saban — perhaps the greatest college football coach of all time — as his team prepared to face Trask and the Gators.
“It’s pretty special,” Trask said Monday. “Coming from a legendary coach like him, it’s pretty cool. It means a lot.”
“Has had as fine a season as any quarterback in the country,” Saban said.
