2020 Florida Football Postgame Notes No 2020 Florida Football Postgame Notes No. 6 Florida 38, Vanderbilt 17 November 21, 2020 Vanderbilt Stadium – Nashville, Tenn. By The Numbers: Gators’ Continue Scoring at Pace Unseen Since Peak Spurrier Years • 313 – Points this season o Passes the 1995 Gators (306 points) for the third-highest total through the first seven games of a season in school history. Only the 1994 Gators (339 points) and 1996 Gators (366 points) scored more. o With 38 points this afternoon, Florida broke the school record for consecutive 35-point outings with its ninth straight game of at least 35 points today. Seven straight 35-point games against SEC teams is also a school record. The previous records in both regards were shared by the 2008 Gators (Oct. 4-Nov. 29) and 1996 Gators (first eight games). • 5 – Offensive touchdowns this afternoon o Florida has scored five offensive touchdowns in seven games against SEC teams for the first time since 1996 (also seven times). o Florida’s seventh straight game with five-plus offensive touchdowns extends its longest streak since 2008, when it had an eight-game run from Oct. 4-Nov. 29, 2008. By The Numbers: Trask Stays on Record-Breaking Pace • 31 – Touchdown passes by Kyle Trask this season o Ties Tulsa’s David Johnson (2008) and Texas Tech’s Graham Harrell (2007) for the second- most passing touchdowns through the first seven games of a season in FBS history. Texas Tech’s B.J. Symons holds the FBS record with 32 in 2003. o Sets a single-season SEC record for touchdown passes in conference play, a mark previously held by LSU’s Joe Burrow (28 in 2019) and Danny Wuerffel (28 in 1995). Broken on first touchdown pass today – a 27-yarder to Kadarius Toney. o Sets the SEC record for passing touchdowns through the first seven games of a season, a mark previously held by Kentucky’s Tim Couch (29 in 1997) and Burrow (29 in 2019). o Marks the sixth season of 30-plus touchdown passes in school history, joining Wuerffel (39 in 1996, 35 in 1995), Rex Grossman (34 in 2001), and Tim Tebow (32 in 2007, 30 in 2008). Both accomplished on second touchdown pass – a 34-yarder to Trevon Grimes. o The only Heisman-winning quarterbacks with at least 31 total touchdowns through seven games in their award campaign were Louisville’s Lamar Jackson (34 – 18 pass, 16 rush in 2016), LSU’s Joe Burrow (31 – 29 pass, 2 rush last season), and Houston’s Andre Ware (31 – 30 pass, 1 rush in 1989). • 2,554 – Passing yards for Trask this season o Of all the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks in history, the only two with more passing yards through the first seven games of their winning season were BYU’s Ty Detmer (2,977 in 1990) and Houston’s Andre Ware (2,930 in 1989). • 383 – Passing yards for Trask this afternoon o Extends the second-longest streak of 300-yard passing games in school history to five; he is four games behind Grossman’s school record of nine in a row from 2001. Five straight 300-yard outings against SEC teams is also the second-longest streak in UF history, behind Grossman’s record of 10 (all eight in 2001, first two of 2002). o Marks his sixth 300-yard passing game of the season – which is the third time in program history a Gators quarterback logged at least six 300-yard passing games in a season. Grossman has the other two, recording 10 such outings in 2001, and six in 2002. o Marks his eighth career game of 300-plus passing yards against an SEC opponent, adding to the fourth-highest total in school history. Grossman (12 – 2000-02), Wuerffel (10 – 1993-96), and Shane Matthews (nine – 1989-92) are the only Gators with more 300-yard games against SEC teams. o Marks the 10th 300-yard passing game of his career, adding to the fourth-highest total in school history. o Fourth outing of 350-plus passing yards the last two seasons, which is two more than the combined number of 350-yard passing games by all Gators quarterbacks from 2002-18. o Extends the second-longest streak of 200-yard passing games in school history to 15. Shane Matthews holds the school record of 17 [see Page 164 of media guide]. • 3 – Passing touchdowns by Trask this afternoon o Became the second Gators quarterback since the start of 1996 to throw three-plus passing touchdowns in seven consecutive games. Danny Wuerffel also had a seven-game run from Sept. 21-Nov. 9, 1996. o Ends the longest streak of games with four-plus passing touchdowns in SEC history (six games). • 57 – Career touchdown passes for Trask o Passes Kerwin Bell (56 from 1984-87) for seventh on the program’s all-time list. Passed Bell with third touchdown pass of the day – a 2-yarder to Kemore Gamble.

The award, which recognizes athletic achievement as well as the academic performance and overall character of its recipient, distinguishes Jeff as the nation’s best high school football player. The Gatorade National Advisory Board, a group of sportswriters and sport-specific experts from around the country, selected Jeff from the more than one million high school football players nationwide.

OFFENSE RULES THE FIRST: The 2020 NFL Draft featured 18 offensive players selected in the first round, tied for the fourth-most in the common draft era, trailing only the 1968, 2004 and 2009 NFL Drafts (19). HEISMANS GO FIRST: The Cincinnati Bengals selected Heisman-winning quarterback JOE BURROW with the first-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Along with the first-overall selections of KYLER MURRAY (Arizona, 2019) and BAKER MAYFIELD (Cleveland, 2018), it marks the first time in the common draft era that a Heisman winner was chosen with the No. 1 pick in three consecutive NFL Drafts.

  • 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report: QB Joe Burrow, LSU
    2020 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT JANUARY 15, 2020 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report: QB Joe Burrow, LSU *Our QB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. Is there anyone speaking out against Joe Burrow as a top QB prospect? Does anyone even doubt that he’s the #1 pick in the draft (not necessarily admitting he’s the best player, just that he will be the #1 pick)? So, what more could I add to the Burrow lovefest of 2020? If I say that I’m very much a Burrow fan for the next level, pro-Burrow as a scout – well then there’s some intrigue taken out of this report already. Just another guy singing Burrow’s praises, big deal! However, despite any desire I might have to surprise you with a controversial take on Burrow, I’m just not finding any reason for a controversial, contrarian call for him as a bust. Not at all. The only real intrigue remaining with Burrow, for scouts and fans – just how good is Joe Burrow? As I was researching background for this report, I was watching some media segments and commentary, post-National Title game. One that caught my eye/ear was Colin Cowherd trying to classify/comp Burrow. He had top CFB analyst Joel Klatt on his show, and Klatt, in full seriousness, compared Burrow to Joe Montana… which makes some sense the more you think of it. The following day, on his show, Cowherd compared Burrow to Tony Romo…a quarterback Colin holds in high regard, so it was a nice comp, even if not quite as glowing as Klatt’s Montana call.

  • Heisman Trivia
    Heisman Trivia HEISMAN.COM @HEISMANTROPHY 318 Did you know...? Some Facts about the Heisman Trophy • Designed by sculptor Frank Eliscu in 1934, the Heisman Trivia Trophy is modeled after Ed Smith, Eliscu’s former high school classmate and star running back for the now defunct New York University football team. • Regarding the Heisman Memorial Trophy, Frank Eliscu said, "It is not my best work but it turned out to be something like the Statue of Liberty. I always thought it was wonderful that I'll be able to leave something like this behind." Eliscu continued working until he passed away from a heart attack in 1996. • The trophy is made of cast bronze, stands 13.5 inches (34.3 cm) tall and weighs 25 pounds (11.3 kg). • The first Heisman Trophy was awarded to Chicago’s Jay Berwanger in 1935. Initially, it was known then as the Down- town Athletic Club Award. After John Heisman, the legend- ary college coach and DAC athletics director, succumbed to pneumonia in 1936, the award was renamed in his honor. • Initially, the Downtown Athletic Club Award was given to, "the best college football player, east of the Mississippi." Once the award was renamed the Heisman Trophy, the geographical limitations were removed and players of all col- leges, from coast to coast, were eligible to win the award. • In 1935 Jay Berwanger did not have any room in his home for the trophy and gave it to his Aunt. Berwanger’s aunt was not familiar with college football and did not realize that the trophy meant her nephew was the best player in college football, so she used it as an extravagant doorstop.
