Florida’s offense looked rusty and lifeless for most of the first half against Missouri on Saturday. It looked like a team that had barely practiced, let alone played a game, in three weeks.
After two drives that resulted in field goals from backup kicker Chris Howard to begin the game, quarterback Kyle Trask threw an interception that was returned 54 yards the other way for a touchdown to give the Tigers a 7-6 lead. Florida’s offense responded with two punts.
With just under four minutes left in the first half, wide receiver Kadarius Toney snapped the offense out of its funk.
