No. 4 Notre Dame upsets top- ranked Clemson with 47- 40 victory in double OT.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. » Kyle Trask started jumping up and down on the sideline. His Florida teammates took it to another level, running and leaping into the stands.
Coach Dan Mullen wasn’t going to be left out off the fun. Mullen pulled himself onto the edge of the front row and celebrated wildly with fans.
Trask had another four- touchdown night, becoming the first quarterback in Southeastern Conference history to accomplish the feat in five consecutive games, and the eighth- ranked Gators beat No. 5 and undermanned Georgia 44- 28 on Saturday.
The Gators ( 4- 1) ended a threegame losing streak in the rivalry known as the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” — it was Mullen’s most significant victory in three years in Gainesville — and now have a stranglehold on the SEC’s East Division.
The Bulldogs ( 4- 2), who entered the game as 3 ½ - point favorites, were likely eliminated from College Football Playoff consideration. Florida, meanwhile, has a Heisman Trophy contender.
Trask completed 30 of 43 passes for a career- high 474 yards — 8 yards shy of Tim Tebow’s singlegame school record — despite playing much of the night without standout tight end Kyle Pitts.
Pitts was knocked out of the game in the second quarter on Lewis Cine’s crushing hit over the middle. Cine was ejected.
Once Trask and Florida got going, the Bulldogs did little to stop them. The Gators scored on seven of eight possessions after a threeandout to open the game and finished with 571 yards — the most allowed in Georgia coach Kirby Smart’s five seasons.
