Florida didn’t waste a lot of time on its opening drive of the 2020 college football season. It took over at the 23-yard line after Ole Miss turned the ball over on downs, and the Gators responded with a 13-play, 77-yard touchdown drive that took nearly five minutes.
On third and goal from the one, quarterback Kyle Trask faked the handoff and rolled out, finding an open Kyle Pitts for the first touchdown of the year.
It was the second connection of the drive between Trask and Pitts. Earlier, UF converted on a third and nine when Trask found Pitts at the sideline for an 18-yard gain, extending the drive.

Trask was 4-of-6 passing for 41 yards and a touchdown on the opening drive. The Gators didn’t find much success on the ground, though. Dameon Pierce and Malik Davis each had nine yards on three carries.
In addition to the two completions to Pitts, Trask also found Jacob Copeland and Davis on the opening drive.
