Kyle Trask has been a career backup. He backed up D’Eriq King at Manvel High School. He backed up Luke Del Rio, Austin Appleby, Malik Zaire and Feleipe Franks at Florida.
Nobody told Kyle Trask he was a backup or maybe they did and he just didn’t listen.
On Saturday Florida’s former backup quarterback threw for more yards in a single game (363) than any quarterback Florida has started since Tim Tebow’s final game in the 2010 Sugar Bowl. Vanderbilt was playing its third-string quarterback and, well, Deuce Wallace looked like a third-string quarterback.
What Kyle Trask has been able to do this season is nothing short of amazing.
