Have the Gators found a QB? Florida fans, media members react to Kyle Trask’s heroics
By Andrew Olson
Published:
Kyle Trask, a high school backup quarterback who many people thought had no business getting a scholarship offer from Florida, came in cold off the bench to engineer a Gators comeback win at Kentucky.
Dan Mullen’s squad scored an impressive 19 answered points with Trask stepping in for his fellow redshirt junior Feleipe Franks. Trask led UF to a 29-21 victory in Lexington.
Trask finished 9-of-13 passing for 126 yards along with one carry, a go-ahead 4-yard TD. Florida’s other scores with Trask were credited as rushing touchdowns to RB Lamical Perine and WR Josh Hammond.
It’s not surprising that fans and media members alike are taking to Twitter to talk Trask. Here’s a small sample of what they’re saying:

So Trask comes in and the OL figures out how to block? I know he’s getting it out fast, but ffs

Trask is more realiable. Jones has more upside long term though. Needed reliable on road at that moment.
