The Florida Gators football team kicked off the second half of its 2020 schedule with a big win over the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday, as quarterback Kyle Trask continues to set new records en route to a shot at the Heisman Trophy.

In other Gators sports, the soccer team pulled out a 6-5 win over the Kentucky Wildcats in an overtime thriller to start off the SEC Tournament on Friday night. However, the squad dropped its match on Sunday to the Missouri Tigers, 2-1, to end Florida’s run in the tournament as well as the 2020 season.

The men’s swimming and diving team excelled after three days at the 2020 Toyota U.S. Open at the Selby Aquatic Center in Sarasota, Fla. UF earned in eight medals, posted seven new LCM personal-bests and made 20 trial cuts at the conclusion of the national meet. The Gators next competition takes place at the Auburn Invitational from Nov. 18-20 at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center.
