Florida found their QB

I don't think Florida wins that game with Franks. Hate he got hurt and wish him a speedy recovery but Trask was much more efficient and he was improvising like a seasoned veteran. All the little things that Frank couldn't execute suddenly got better with Trask. It is a small sample size but so far so good.

I do agree Florida was a beaten team till Franks unfortunate injury.

Task played fine I guess, but Kentucky just laid down and died. The defense couldn't do anything right. He had wide open receivers on every play.

The bogus target took the wind out of their sails. Turning point.

You can call it that or a team that never took a play off. A team that kept it's head down and kept grinding > A team that had a QB that managed the game didn't make mistakes could run if play breaks down (see Syracuse). A defense that could get a stop in close games. A offense that could get the 3rd & 1"s .
In other words I call it a complete TEAM.
No brag, just fact.

He must not practice well. That's the only reason why Franks could've been the #1. Wish we had that kind of depth.

Trask never started a game since middle school. He also had two season ending injures during practice in 2017 and 2018, so he never had much of a chance to develop by getting meaningful snaps. Mullen likes to run his QB a lot, and you can see why he would be hesitant to put a QB that got injured twice in an offense that tends to run the QB on a plurality of plays. I know he looked good against UK last night, but we will be relatively one dimensional with him. I expect Mullen to use both QBs going forward by utilizing their strengths. Trask worked well last night but doubt be able to move the ball against a good secondary. He is a great kid and just likes being a Gator which is why he never transferred. He also was very cool and poised in a very tough situation. Will see.

We needed a 4th down questionable interference call to escape Syracuse, the freshman walk on kicker missing wide left from 32 yards out against UF, the Stoerner fumble (need I say more?), benefiting from a late UCLA loss to face an FSU team that was missing its starting QB for the national championship game. That’s a bunch of luck. But I’ll take it!

KY secondary is bad. Too many starters out. WRs running wide open with no defenders within 10 yards of the receivers.

Now, I am not saying we will win, just that KY is getting no pressure on the QB and their coverage is non-existent.

Stoops went into "Prevent Victory" defense with 10 min to go in 4th Qtr. This occurred at the same time they broke Felipe in half. So the 2nd string QB was like a practice against air.

JG has regressed, and the two backups were 3* recruits with underwhelming offer lists. I’m hopeful Mauer has the “it” factor when the lights come on, otherwise, more pain ahead

Kentucky had a nose guard that was like a bull dozer...don't kid yourselves....kid just pushed his men or man into the QB.....Kentucky was shorthanded and still almost won...
We don't have anymore Chattanooga games left....

I’d take that nose guard in a heartbeat. The

Thanks for the question, KC. I grew up in Jacksonville so so many of my earliest memories surround that game with Georgia. Pretending to be various UF players out in the yard at a young age with my brothers, being amazed and devastated at the same time by Herschel Walker’s greatness, I remember “Run Lindsey Run” play vividly, that’s Buck Belue to Lindsey Scott to beat Florida, I was 9 years old. My first ever college football game was at about 12 years old, my pop warner team was selling Coke’s at a Florida Georgia game in Jax and of course I was captivated. My Dad got season tickets when Steve Spurrier arrived and we’ve had them in the family ever since.

What’s your earlier memory of UT football?

Watching the 1990 UT - Florida game with my parents and the UT Alumni Chapter at Barnacle Bill's in Tallahassee.

45 - 3!

My earliest football memory is FSU - Tulane in 1984. I was Danny McManus on the playground at school.

I've been leaning on the UT side of that fence ever since graduation in 1998.

KY gameplanned for Franks, not Trask. Not to mention their secondary sucks.

Regardless, he found them when Franks couldn’t. They scored 19 unanswered when Trask came in.
