2. Kyle Trask and Spencer Rattler each throw for over 400 yards

This may not be my boldest prediction ever, but Spencer Rattler and Kyle Trask are each going to take advantage of poor passing defenses from the other team.

Rattler started the season strong and then hit a lull and then got red-hot near the end, finishing with 2,784 yards and 25 touchdowns and only seven picks. He also completed just under 70 percent of his passes and looked like a future Heisman contender. The most yards he has ever passed for in a single game was 387 against Kansas State and he’ll top that against Florida.

On the other hand, Trask finished the year with 4,125 yards and 43 touchdowns with just five picks. He was as accurate as any quarterback in the country and is currently a Heisman finalist. He has three straight 400-yard games and has recorded five on the year and he’ll have a sixth on Wednesday.

Both quarterbacks are going to take part in a shootout of epic proportions and they may even combine for close to 10 touchdowns through the air.
