OU football: Five things to know about Florida Gators, Sooners' Cotton Bowl opponent

Oklahoma will face Florida in the Cotton Bowl at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Here are five things to know about the Sooners’ bowl opponent:

1. Trask emerges as a star

Gators quarterback Kyle Trask has been one of the biggest revelations in the sport this season.

The senior leads the nation in passing yards with 4,125 and passing touchdowns with 43, 11 more than any other FBS quarterback.

He’s got a good chance to be the first Florida player in the top three of Heisman Trophy voting since Tim Tebow finished third in 2008 — the year OU’s Sam Bradford won the award.
