Florida couldn't have gotten off to a worse start in the Cotton Bowl
With all the opt-outs and COVID-19 absences on both sides of the ball, we knew winning the Cotton Bowl was going to be a tough task for the Florida Gators.
But, that doesn’t mean we were expecting what happened in the first few minutes of the game on Wednesday night in Texas.
First, Oklahoma elected to receive and marched down the field, scoring on this Spencer Rattler touchdown pass:

OK, but surely Heisman finalist Kyle Trask would be able to answer that touchdown, right? Right?
In the words of Lee Corso, not so fast, my friend. Florida’s first drive ended with this pick-6, returned for a score by Tre Norwood to give the Sooners a 14-0 lead with 12:22 left in the first quarter:

Yeah, it’s tough to imagine a worse start for the Gators. But, they have the ball again, and there’s plenty of time left. We’ll see if the Gators can battle back or if things get even worse for Dan Mullen’s squad.
Heck this is not the UF of this past season. They are down too many players. Say what you want about the supposed talent of the backups, but they were backups for a reason. The timing seems to be off between Trask and the receivers, and of course no running game.
You’re right to point out he’s throwing to the scout team, but still, this is hilarious after being told he deserved the Heisman because of Pitts’ touchdowns.
You know it.. All we’ve heard is that Trask done it himself. Trask was the reason for Florida’s success…
Seems that may not be the case..
Holy #@!$, that third interception in 10 minutes was amazing. Absolutely nothing to blame on chemisty/etc, that was just trash.
He may be on bench soon. Maybe this is his way of opting out.
That isn’t the case with any player that wins the Heisman whether it is a QB, RB, or receiver, and only an idiot would think it is.
@ Supreme Gump they said his arm got hit, but that receiver was covered and the DB had that ball all the way.
Oh but I’m going to continue to point it out since every article that mentioned Mac had someone show up to bash him and tell us how impressive Trask is as all Florida had…
Tidefan
Lighten up dude, it was a joke. So, now you know I don’t actually think that. And your reason for being an idiot???
I was agreeing with you and pointing out your reasons for being correct. Considering that is all the UF fans have talked about. It appears you need to tell me what the what reasons are for being an idiot as you seem to be trying to corner the market in it.
Yea it’s the same team!!!! They ain’t all that good. I DON’T SEE ANYONE TALKING ABOUT UGA LOSING 70% OF THEIR DEFENSE AND 40% OF THEIR OFFENSE TO. NOT INCLUDING PLAYING THE 5TH STRING QB STETSON BENNETT VS FLORIDA!!!!
Nope all I heard was how Florida lit us up!!! So if missing players don’t count for UGA. THEN I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT WITH FLORIDA!!!! Alabama ain’t going to win it all either!!!! CLEMSON WILL WIN IT ALL AGAIN!!!!!
PS. Florida is supposed to destroy OU. A team not even on their level!!!! Emory Jones still staring down wrs????? I guess the whisperer needs to speak up. And lay off sniffing the shoes!!!!
King Negan
At the end of the day, Florida still beat Georgia.
Georgia will start next season at 0-1.
UGA was down 70% of their defense and 40% of their offense? Genuinely asking.
I think he means how many 2019 starters they replaced. He’s insane, you see.
44-28.
I’m not talking about the Florida-Georgia game…
I was talking about the ratio of you finishing before your sister in bed.
I would bet my last penny that TransNegan and BamaTime aren’t allowed to be within 100 yards of elementary schools
You can only ride that horse so far. If OKie houses the Gators it’s more than being down 4 key players. Florida is still there with 60 scholarship players..
They are also missing their best players from a defense that sucked.
Okie is down their best D player too, on a Big 12 D at that. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I’d go with Jones the rest of the way if he’s not sick.
TOUGH TASK TO BEAT A TEAM NOT EVEN ON YOUR LEVEL??? STOP THESE EXCUSES!!!!!!
King Negan
Guess whose back
back again
Negan’s back
bring the thorazine
negan is killing it tonight. Gator fans are in for a long night.
Unless they turn it around.
Probably needs to up his Haldol.
Negan ain’t never went anywhere snowflake!!! I told y’all OU would kill Florida and I was RIGHT AS ALWAYS!!!
Clemson has something for Alabama to. Provided they can get past Notre dame. Which I wouldn’t guarantee!!!
PS. I’m SEC but I ain’t stupid!!! Probably because my parents aren’t brother and sister.
King Negan
your parents are so ashamed of you.
TransNegan will have nobody at his/her/their funeral
My parents love me. I don’t have a poster of Caitlyn Jenner!!!! Emory Jones probably transfers after this. LOL WHAT A TEAM!!!!!
CONGRATS SNOWFLAKE
King Negan
Wait, Trask dominated all year as a one man team I thought… Maybe he actually wasn’t doing it all by himself…
Hard to believe..
Who said he was doing it all by himself?
You can’t be serious…
Trash can’t throw it to himself for 43 touchdowns. Doesn’t take a smart person to realize that
Trask***
You may want to tell that to some of your Florida buddies… The scribe, ben and the rest of gang has told us all year Trask was a one man team…
Trask is great in my opinion, I’m not on here every day but I haven’t seen anyone say that. How can anyone knock a kid who had the balls to show up to a game when he already knew what he was getting into.
Good take Randy. Trask has thrown three *courageous* interceptions. He’s brave!
I’ve asked myself many times how anyone can knock Mac for his performance this year but numerous Florida fans seemed to enjoy doing it….
Even with 3 interceptions in the first quarter. He still leads in key stats for the regular season. I’m not knocking Mac , but if you asked me who I think is better I’d go with trask all day.
I love it… Now he leads in key stats…
LMAO
Does he not? Not to mention he did it with a mediocre offensive line and no running game. Can’t say the same for Mac
Next-level homer game on display here.
@ RandyLehey Actually the only stats he leads in are the ones that mean he threw the ball more. Jones led in QBR, Passer rating, Completion %, and YPA,wins, and that is just off the top of my head. With no running game UF had no choice but to chunk it all over the place.
There it is.. Trask the one man team.. No running game and snapping the ball to himself …
All you’re doing is proving my point…
Tide fan that’s right, we have been one dimensional all season resulting in the completion percentage not being the best. But his TD to interception ratio in regular season is the best if I’m not mistaken and if he leads in TD’s that’s pretty impressive if you ask me.
Bamatime you brought up Mac so I’m comparing the two with my opinion. Do yourself a favor and hop off my d*ck. You won’t see me saying he’s a one man show.
You just called him a one man show.. I mean you out everything else on the team down…
Just keep proving my point dip$hit..
Have you seen our first string receivers stats? How is he a one man show? I never said that. I’m saying he’s a good quarterback. If he was a one man show he would be dominating right now with 2nd and 3rd strings.
What receivers? It’s been made clear that Pitts was the only player that even had a pulse beside Trask…
Looks like the backup may out perform Trask.
What receivers? You just lost all credibility of whatever point your trying to make.
@ RandyLehey Trask had an excellent year. But attempts, yardage and TDs do not indicate a QB having a good year, Just that they have thrown more. He has actually played the equivalent of over 2 complete games more that Jones. The measurables of QB success are all in favor of Jones.
“What receivers? You just lost all credibility of whatever point your trying to make.”
You didn’t know it’s only Trask? I’ve already told you I’m just repeating what’s been said by Florida fans..
I mean you have no Oline, no run game and only Pitts…. It’s been said over and over by Florida fans on this site…
Pitts had 12 TD receptions, trask had 43 TD passes. Go research on who he threw the rest to.
I don’t care who he threw them too.. I’m repeating what’s been said by Florida fans…
Ok since you are as sloppy as a soup sandwich right about know and asked what receivers I’ll let you know. Toney,Grimes,Copeland. If you are comparing me to all Florida fans then I could compare you to most Alabama fans. But I’ll hold off for now.
By the way that’s like me comparing all Georgia fans to that negan clown.
I don’t care what you compare… If Florida fans can dish it out they can take it… You can cry about if you like… Means nothing to me.
I’m taking it easy on you bamatime, you’ve proved a few times you can’t take jokes. You should thank me for buying your Christmas presents this year. Your mother couldn’t do it all on her own.
LOL NO YOU GOT IT RIGHT. TRASH!!!!
King Negan
Kyle Trask is so good Mullen has decided to just roll with the Wildcat.
Randy: this proves he’s elite.
Did I say he’s elite? Must’ve missed it bud
Yeah.. Mullen benched him and the backup scored…
So you’re saying Jones played better with the players he’s practiced with all season? Wow
hurry home, bamatime, your sister is wet
ItsGreat7………You have a lot of weird sexual fantasies. I thought your Caitlyn Jenner poster was weird. But now your into that to?????
CONGRATS!!! Y’all scored on their backups. It’s only a 35 point lead now!!!! This is next year’s gators!!!! We could beat this team with Stetson Bennett!!!!
PS. I can’t wait to watch Danny boys press conference!!!! I’m laughing at y’all.
King Negan
ItsGreat7………..Hey the old saying. He who laughs last, laughs the hardest, is absolutely true. And I am laughing here. No I’m nearly crying. LOL ONLY 35 POINTS!!!!!!
PS. Y’all really are on another level from OU. It couldn’t be any clearer!!!!!
King Negan
Just when you think it can’t get any worse… 3 INTs
It can get worse, I hope UF can come back, but if Trask can’t remember which team to throw it to, it might get ugly.
EXPOSED

I wonder who they will kick out of the SEC first. Vanderbilt or South Carolina..
Actually probably Florida if they keep embarrassing the SEC like this. It was only a 35 point loss. Thanks to a late score in garbage time with their backups playing!!!!!
Florida at their finest. ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST EAST CHAMPION EVER!!! If losing badly and falling apart was the name of the game. TRASH lived up to his name. As we saw NEXT SEASON’S FLORIDA GATORS GET ANNIHILATED BY A BIG 12 OU TEAM WITH 2 LOSSES!
This is like having a second Christmas!!!! This Florida team will be lucky to make 3rd in the east next year!!! But chalk another one up for that GATOR SWAGGER!!!!! Yep it’s back!!!
They would have been beaten if nobody opted out. OU also had star players out to!!! They spanked y’all and made you beg for more!!!!! Wap!!! Yes sir may I have another. Wap!!!! Yes sir may I have another!!!!!
PS. UGA fans got redemption right here tonight. Nobody believes that Florida truly won the east anymore. No matter what anyone says. Y’ALL MADE MY YEAR!!!!
King Negan
Hey Randy, as a Florida fan. Can you tell me your impression of 3rd and Grantham???? And how do you feel next year’s team compares to that team UGA beat 42-7?????
King Negan
Yep, exposed with their jorts down!!!! LOL
King Negan
Track’s brain opted out. He looks like he is asleep.
Much like Tua against UGA, the backup has more timing with the backup receivers than the starter. It just appears that Trask is off with his timing and decision making. Most players have a poor game sometime, I hope Jones does not have one.
Some of the problems are not on Trask. He has hit plenty of receivers, just to see them drop the ball.
LOL at the Committee putting FLA in a NY6 bowl.
Don’t get me started on your team. Mizwho is trash booches, just accept it.
Hey if Kyle had all his weapons tonight. No way they lose by 35!!! It wouldn’t be more than 21 or 24 points at the most!!!!
PS. I wonder how they will rank a 4 loss team. That just lost by 35 points???? Top 20 seems to generous to me!!! But I might rank them #25!!! Just to be nice.
King Negan
Actually they were extremely lucky to lose by 35 points only. If OU hadn’t kept fumbling and giving them chances. It could have been much much worse.
PS. It is looking more and more like, maybe LSU didn’t get lucky after all!!!!
King Negan
I’m surprised your single wide, 12 miles from the Ozarks even has cell service for you to post this lol
ItsGreat7……….Must have been gratifying to get to watch the future of Florida football at its finest. Tonight’s sneak peak of the gators just made UGA the media favourite to win the east next year. But I wonder who challenges uga? Will it be Missouri, Tennessee or Kentucky?
I bet Mullen is wishing he would have opted out of this game. It’s got him thinking seriously about opting out OF next season!!!! LOL
If covid is still a problem next season. I could easily see Mullen saying. We have decided to opt out of the season as a team!!!!
Mullen thought he was going to win this one. He was so sure he would get a big pat on the back. With the media saying. What a coaching Job Dan did in this one. Because if he had known it might go this way. You couldn’t have paid him to play!!! He would have opted out for sure!!!! No Mullen really believed his team would win tonight and get a big push in the rankings for next season. Now he might not be in the preseason top 20!!!!!
PS. I’M GOING TO GO WATCH HIS PRESS CONFERENCE!!!! LOL
King Negan
Queen Negan touches children
He takes after joe Biden
SleepyNegan adores sleepy children
Wouldn’t surprise me
Oh Randy, you should have hushed with your Biden comment. Everyone here knows I’m pro Trump!!! We have the Jort wearing boy band Florida boys making cute little jokes about sexuality that fit their character.
The mouth speaks what is in the heart. Try to remember that. Because it also applies to fingers!!!
Say what you wish. But my team didn’t lose by 35 points tonight. : ) Was this a H TROPHY moment for Kyle Trash??? If interceptions were TD passes then yea, he had a big night.
But the real reason I’m so happy is because this is next year’s Florida team. The dawgs would have won this one by 50 easily!!!!!
PS. Even if uga were to lose against Cincinnati, we will still have a better record than Florida. But don’t count on it. Either way. We won’t lose by 35!!!!!
King Negan
Say any fantasy you wish about Negan. But sleepy Negan didn’t lose by 35 points. And sleepy Negan ain’t crying tonight!!!!!
And I ain’t getting drunk and urinating in my jorts!!! I wasn’t clapping with both arms like an alligator to start the night. With my Kyle Trask Jersey on while holding my Dan Mullen action figures!!!! And I didn’t break my tv or my Todd Grantham action figure either. While in a fit of blind drunken rage!!!!
And I’m not sitting in a dark room with a beer and a broken tv. With that hopeless sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach!!!! Like a surfer who just got his surfboard stolen and then got thrown out of mothers basement to add to my misery!!! Waiting on my jorts to dry out!!!! Saying to myself. What do I do now?????
Because I’ve seen tomorrow and it ain’t pretty. Call me what you like snowflake. But that is not me tonight. I would say. Hey it will all get better. But then I would be a liar. So I’ll say goodnight.
PS. I could really stick it to you. But I don’t need to. OU DID IT ALL FOR ME!!!!!! LOL
BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!
King Negan bye now : )
An odd amount of your insults are sexual
Well you can’t expect him to use his football team.. They’re currently getting drug up and down the field..
@ItsGreat7………Your a real sicko!!! You know what they say about those who accuse others!!! You have mentioned every kind of perversion there is except for one!!! It won’t surprise me if you say that one to keyboard warrior!!!!
Perfect example of a gator fan!!!! Can’t backup their TALK!!!! So they just add more talk. OU’s little bi?ch!!!!! By the way. Is your boyfriend the jealous type????
Because you just took it hard and heavy!!! Goooooooooooo Gators!!!! LOL 4 loss SEC EAST chumpions not champions!!!! Was it great losing 3 straight???? I’m talking about these last 3 straight losses!!!!
I bet you’ll never forget 3 win LSU beating y’all in the swamp. A game you were a SHOE-IN to win!!!! And I thought that was an unforgivable loss. But I think losing by 35 is even worse!!!!
Marco Wilson for president!!!!! I love it. The snowflakes all melted tonight like Mullen always does!!!! YOU ARE ONLY MAD AT ME BECAUSE I PREDICTED THIS LOSS. AS WELL AS MULLEN’S LATE COLLAPSE!!!!!
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. Right snowflake???? I’m betting you will find two tonight. Unless you had a fight with your boyfriend. You didn’t get mad and run him off did you?????
I know your praying that UGA loses so you can stick it to me. But I’m afraid you’ll just be disappointed again. I know Mullet set you up then broke your heart. But hey it’s not like he hasn’t done this before. He has done it his entire career!!!! KIRBY SMART THAT YOU POKE FUN AT, WOULD HAVE PUT A CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENSE ON THE FIELD TO GO WITH YOUR OFFENSE. AND WITH KIRBY YOU WOULD STILL BE PLAYING!!!!!! With Mullet you were beaten day 1!!!!! But hey, you did get lucky enough to beat the UGA B TEAM. They had a bad game. Otherwise uga would have beaten you with their B TEAM!!!! Trust me our B TEAM would slaughter this team tonight!!!! So yes the UGA B TEAM THIS YEAR ARE BETTER THAN YOUR STARTING TEAM FOR NEXT SEASON!!!!!
PS. I would say. TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!!!! But we both know that is not possible!!!! So just keep on taking it like a Tran!!!!! I hope you didn’t break your tv set!!!!
King Negan
Wow, 3 straight L’s, you hate to see it.
Speak for yourself. LOL I LOVE SEEING IT!!!!! It’s a good thing Trash didn’t opt out. Actually maybe he should have LOL.
King Negan
Negan, you dense oaf, “you hate to see it” is a sarcastic/ironic thing you say to feign sadness when you in fact like to see it.
