Reaction: Kyle Trask continues Heisman-like season, torches Arkansas with 5 TDs in first half
The Arkansas Razorbacks have the SEC’s best pass defense, but you wouldn’t know it against Florida in the first half.
Gators quarterback Kyle Trask is carving up the Hogs secondary in remarkable fashion. During the first half, he completed 18-of-22 passes for 285 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Trask has now thrown 4-plus touchdowns in 6 games in a row, extending his own SEC record.
Trask’s rise from high school backup to Florida backup to one of the nation’s elite quarterbacks has been remarkable, and there’s not end in sight. Is Trask a top 10 NFL Draft pick? He’s certainly playing like it.

Reaction poured in after Trask’s first-half performance:
Is Kyle Trask doing the same think Joe Burrows did last year. Is Kyle Trask a top QB prospect. Does he jump fields???

Why did Felipe Franks ever start over Kyle Trask? Not even a comparison. #SEC #Florida #CFB

If Kyle trask isn’t the front runner for the heisman at this point I really don’t know what he has to do

Kyle Trask continues to impress. His receivers are helping out with some acrobatic catches too. But Trask displays the kind of poise & accuracy that will make him a first round pick. #Gators

Kyle Trask needs to be a legitimate consideration for the Heisman

Just making game manager throws. Wish we had the arm talent in the Georgia QB room.
Lol!
Mac Jones and Justin Fields are tremendous.. However, Kyle Trask is the front runner at this point and its really not even close.
Well through his first five games trash has a CMP percentage of 68.7 pct,1815 yards, 22 tds, 3 ints….
Mac has a cmp percentage of 78.7%, 1905 yards, 12tds, 2 int…
I didn’t count the last game for Mac because Florida is still playing Arky atm… It doesn’t look like he is the front runner to me as the only category he leads in is TDs..
Trask*
Good point. And touchdowns don’t matter, really a meaningless stat.
I didn’t say it was meaningless but it’s not the only stat that matters.. His cmp% is 10 points behind Mac, he has less yards and more ints…
Yea, I’m taking 90 yards over 10 TD all day long. It probably helps having 3 first round WRs to pad the completion and yard stats.
In what is now the same amount of games played, Trask leads the nation in TD passes and Jones by 12. Trask is barely behind Jones in yards and QBR. There is a long way to go, but I think Trask is the leader right now.
And he is still 8 points behind Macs completion percentage…
GatorsDontPlay, pump the brakes. Mac didn’t play vs LSU today. Trask has loss (-3) vs Aggies. Mac has win vs Aggies (+28). You’re playing Arkansas. Don’t get a big head like negan, corch and tdow.
Yes, the QB is responsible for point differential. Great point.
In the loss, Trask completed 72% of his passes for over 300 yards with four TD’s and no pics. Don’t think he was responsible for the loss.
I didn’t say he was responsible for the loss. Had he won he would probably be the leader in the Heisman. Winning matters. Trevor Lawrence missed playing two games and he dropped from first to third in missing only one game. The Heisman is a very fluid situation. It’s not wrapped up like GatorsDontPlay is alluding to.
I’ve not once mentioned the Heisman, let alone who is leading for it. Thanks SDScan’tRead.
Not you. GatorsDontPlay made that comment. I read just fine.
He seems to be really ripping it tonight. Lots of velocity except the rainbow to Zipperer.
Alabama fans on suicide watch I see
Why? A lot of football yet to be played. We’re not guaranteed to make it to December before COVID could wipe out football.
If the Hogs can put 35 on you, I’m not too worried about our offense putting up points.
As the kids say, ok boomer
As grown ups say, ok kid…
