It's safe to say Kyle Trask came to play against Arkansas.

The Florida quarterback - and potential Heisman front-runner - completed 23 of 29 passes for 356 yards and six touchdown passes in a 63-35 win over the Razorbacks on Saturday.

Trask turned in a stellar first half, throwing for 285 yards and five touchdowns. His first two scores found wide receiver Trevon Grimes, though the redshirt senior saved arguably his best tosses for Penn State transfer Justin Shorter and sophomore tight end Keon Zipperer.

His play was so impressive, Florida freshman quarterback Anthony Richardson - who was dressed for the contest - tweeted a Heisman push for his teammate at halftime.

Trask became the first player in SEC history to record four passing touchdowns in six straight games and the third player in Gators history to record 25 passing touchdowns in multiple seasons, joining Tim Tebow and Danny Wuerffel.

Florida improved to 5-1 on the campaign, while Arkansas dropped to 3-4.
