No. 9 Florida bounces back with 38-27 win over Gamecocks

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- For three quarters, Kyle Trask saw the overthrows and ineffective runs, the penalties and missed assignments. He knew something had to change. It finally did. Trask threw three of his career-high four touchdowns in the final period Saturday to rally the No. 9 Gators to a 38-27 win at South Carolina. Trask, sensing the game slipping away, told his teammates: "This isn't us." He then helped the Gators (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) avoid a second straight loss after falling at No. 2 LSU 42-28 last week. "We found our identity and started making plays," he said. This season, the identity of Florida's offense is very much in Trask's hands. The redshirt junior, starting because of an injury to Feleipe Franks , has led the Gators to their best start since 2015. After a week off, Trask will bring Florida to a final, defining stretch with games against No.
