Kyle Trask honored as national performer of the week for 6-TD game at Ole Miss
After a career day in Oxford, Florida QB Kyle Trask is being recognized as the College Football Performance Awards’ National Performer of the Week.
In a 51-35 Florida win over Ole Miss, Trask finished with career highs for passing yards (416) and passing touchdowns (6). Those numbers were put up by 30 completions, tying a career-high.
Trask became the sixth player in UF history to throw 6 touchdown passes in a game; he is the first Gator QB to throw 6 TDs since Chris Leak (Nov. 13, 2004 against South Carolina).
South Carolina happens to be next up on the schedule for Trask and the No. 3 Florida Gators. The game is set for a noon ET kickoff in Gainesville, Florida, airing on ESPN.

There were at least 5 drops in that game as well. Im guessing this didnt go to Costello because of his turnovers.
Costello had two interceptions, at least one of which was egregiously his fault. He also wasn’t particularly efficient with a 60% completion percentage. He was impressive, but no doubt that Trask was the better of the two Saturday.
Yeah, I remember Blackmon’s article a week or two ago asking “why not” Trask for the Heisman. Seems a whole lot less far-fetched after Saturday.
Considering that the Heisman has become mostly a QB award, Trask has got to be the leading candidate right now. There is a lot of season left though.
D’Eriq King looks good also for Miami. He has a very quick release and great running ability.
He should certainly be in the conversation, but most of King’s passes were short safe passes which will keep him out of the top spot.
Miami has 2 weeks to prepare for Clemson which will be the true test. Clemson could be on upset alert as well as Miami has been playing.
Trevor Lawrence is going to be hard to beat.
I do not see any player at his position better than Trevor Lawrence. Only close one is chubba at okie state.
D’Eriq King has looked great. But his wide receivers have barely been covered. He’s been fun to watch, but I want to see how he does against a real secondary.
Trask looked really good. Compared to what the Dawgs displayed on Saturday, I think Florida fans have every reason to be optimistic to take the East this year. But it’s a long season. Who knows what will happen…..Maybe Daniels is the answer, maybe Stetson will have one of those weird, out-of-the-blue miracle seasons….
Still, it’s fun to have both Georgia and Florida in the top 5 at the same time. It seems like it’s been a while since that happened. Hoping we’re both still there on Nov. 7.
Agreed…love to see a top 5 showdown.
Coach Smart is a really good coach, as is Coach Mullen. My guess is, UF’s defense and uga’s offense will both improve significantly by 7 November. Unfortunately for uga, it appears they have a more challenging schedule leading up to the WLOCP.
Trask looked good, but he needs to thank Pitts for his great route running and catching ability. It was very good execution on both. Pitts is the best TE in the country.
Interesting thing to say. Is it that without Pitts Trask would struggle? I don’t think so at all. Or is it that Pitts needs to thank Trask for putting the ball in places only he could catch. Or thank him for targeting so many times that he scored 4 TDs? You need a QB to throw you the ball and someone to go get it, no need to thank either one
Y’all need to thank Felipe for gift rapping you 21 points
Yeah, one thing that hasn’t been talked about much with respect to Georgia’s offense were the short fields they had to work with. Their defense was reall responsible for more than the 9 points they got directly.
Need to hear from Corch and Neegan
Corch is over on the Georgia QB saga article claiming Bennett is as good as Trask cause PFF says so. The level of delusion has hit an all time high.
Yeah, some GA fan is saying Bennett to Winnet. It’s gonna be fun watching Florida dominate and Georgia struggle, oh how the tables have turned. Florida trending up and GA trending down, GO GATORS!
Stetson Bennett is a rerun. He played against Arky. Haven’t sniffed a conference win in a couple of years. Their Coach Pittman was looking for anything to spark his program. He got it and then some.
Jawja fans should be sending a Christmas card to Franks he gave them quite a few presents that really changed the outcome.
Smart is Muschimp 2.0
I can guarantee to you that all the money in the state of Georgia will go towards making sure that Florida is facing JT Daniels in Jax come November, not Stetson Bennett.
I don’t understand all the Daniels to the rescue talk. Forget how good he may or may not be (he was a turnover machine at USC).
The guy had a much more complex than usual knee surgery almost exactly a year ago, and he still isn’t cleared to play. While I’m sure he’s been throwing, he hasn’t played in over a year. I hate injuries and wish the kid well, but the idea that Daniel is going to come back and play at anywhere near 100% — either now or six weeks from now — in a new offense on top of everything else, is wishful thinking.
Maybe the moment was just too much for Mathis, but I think I might be giving a fair number of snaps to Carson Beck right about now. There’s probably a reason why Bennett was the fourth guy on the depth chart.
JT is our kinda guy. I’m imagining that GD is about to disrupt a lot of offensive lines. If Kyrie has been in there Grantham could book end Moon and Cox. Leaving Ventrell to flow to the ball. I’m sure Grantham realizes he can move GD around and create havoc. Not having Moon and Kyrie really hurt.
Grantham stayed in a plain vanilla defense all day on Saturday. I think as much as anything, his goal may have been to get through the afternoon with no ankle sprains on twists and stunts.
The defense will look totally different this Saturday.
It’s a good position to be in for Trask, finally getting some attention by Heisman voters. Our schedule is also favorable for positioning him for the eventual vote.
There’s so much football ahead and game matchups that will eliminate the contenders with losses. That will be the case for King and Miami as games are played.
