The 7th ranked Florida Gators will be taking on the 6th ranked Oklahoma Sooners in the Cotton Bowl Classic. The Florida Gators finished 8-3 with Kyle Trask under center, their losses came against 5th ranked Texas A&M, LSU, and 1st ranked Alabama. Florida was very competitive even when they lost, the most points they were down by was 6 points in their loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship 52-46. Oklahoma finished 8-2 this season which includes a Big 12 Conference Championship victory over Iowa State.
In the SEC Championship, Florida saw themselves down at half before exploding out of the half scoring 29 but it was ultimately too little too late. Florida's offense has been their key to success with strong play coming from Kyle Trask which has allowed them to average 41.6 points along with 508.8 yards per game. Kyle Trask has dominated this season, leading in passing touchdowns and yards with 4,125 yrds, 43 TDs to just 5 INTs. Florida's pass-happy offense has some questions at receiver as Kyle Trask will be without his top 3 targets, Kyle Pitts, Kadarius Toney, Trevon Grimes.
Oklahoma has also found a ton of success offensively scoring 41.8 a game with 475.8 yards a game. Spencer Rattler has shown to be a competent quarterback as he has a ton of potential and with Trask not having his starting receivers, Spencer Rattler should have an easier time keeping up with Kyle Trask.
I like Oklahoma to walk away with the dub in this but -6.5 is just too much for my liking with the way Kyle Trask has played.
