No. 5 Florida kicked off its 2020 season with a record-setting showing on offense.

Led by the tandem of Kyle Trask and Kyle Pitts, the Gators had too much offensive firepower for Ole Miss in their 51-35 win. Trask completed 30 of 42 pass attempts for career-highs in passing yards (416) and touchdowns (6), while Pitts posted a career-high eight catches for 170 yards and four touchdowns, which tied the UF single-game record.

Trask's six scores tied the SEC record for most touchdown passes in a conference opener, and Florida's 642 yards of total offense marked the most in a league game in school history.

The Gators struggled defensively against first-year Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin. His offense put up 613 total yards, including just three fewer passing yards (443) than Trask and Emory Jones. Matt Corral got the start and almost threw for 400 yards, finishing with 395, three touchdowns and a pick on 22 of 31 passing.

UF was without more than a dozen players against the Rebels.

Ole Miss marched down the field yet again, this time driving 75 yards in 16 plays to make it a two-score game. Corral completed six passes on the possession and then escaped for a 20-yard run. Snoop Copper punched it in from a yard out, but the Rebels' two-point conversion failed.

Florida put the game out of reach with a methodical 10-play, 75-yard drive. A roughing the passer penalty and carries by Davis, Pierce and Toney took the Gators into the red zone, where Trask and Pitts once again connected on a 17-yard TD. Pitts tied the school record for touchdown catches in a game (4), while Trask tied Joe Burrow's record for most touchdown passes (6) in a conference opener in SEC history.

Corral's two-point conversion throw to Jonathan Mingo brought the Rebels back within two scores.
