A huge afternoon for Kyle Trask just became even bigger. On the opening drive of the second half, the redshirt senior quarterback picked up where he left off in the first half, leading the Gators on a quick two-play drive that culminated in a 71-yard passing touchdown to tight end Kyle Pitts.
The big play marked Trask’s fifth passing touchdown of the afternoon, as he is 20 of 27 with 316 yards and no interceptions early in the third quarter. Pitts has six catches for 146 yards and three touchdowns.
Pitts ran a seam route on the left side, and Ole Miss didn’t have anyone deep in the secondary after calling a safety blitz. Pitts snuck between the linebacker and the corner and was wide open down the middle of the field, giving the Gators a 35-14 lead over the Rebels.
