Hot start: Reaction gushes over Kyle Trask's numbers over last 2 games
Kyle Trask is having a banner season even in limited duty against overmatched teams. The Florida backup-turned-starter has come out to a blistering start. On Saturday against Towson, Trask was 13-for-13 for 139 yards in a 17-0 halftime lead.
That follows up games against Tennessee and late entry into the Kentucky game when he completed 71 percent of his passes for 459 yards, with three touchdown and two interceptions. It has caused some to question why Dan Mullen chose Feleipe Franks over Trask to start the season.
While some fans questioned Trask’s pocket awareness, the results have looked good so far.
Here’s some reaction to Trask’s first half against Towson:
Think @PFF_Steve was right. Florida’s gonna be justttt fine with Trask at QB. pic.twitter.com/8fh1iItV78

Trask has been awesome except for pocket presence. With the way our OL is he’s just not going to have much time to be comfortable back there.

The only thing that really scares me with Trask is his pocket awareness

After 6 quarters of Trask, it’s clear his pocket awareness is his biggest liability.

#Gators with a 17-0 lead at half.
Quick takes:
-Defense played poorly despite keeping Towson off the scoreboard.
-Trask looked excellent when given time in the pocket.
-Dameon Pierce was able to find some room to run. But overall, ground game still a struggle.— Brian Fox, Jr. (@ChompTalkBrian) September 28, 2019

I think Mullens ego started Frank’s. He wanted to show the world what he can do with Frank’s. But how could you not see this with Trask. The offense runs so smooth with him as QB
