More on Burton, looking ahead to Bama week
Monday, September 27, 2010 | Football, Scott Carter
Trey Burton's six-touchdown performance against Kentucky dominated the headlines on Sunday.
Burton became the first Gator to ever score six touchdowns in a game and fell one shy of tying San Diego State's Marshall Faulk's all-time freshman record set in 1991 against Pacific. Former Gators QB Tim Tebow once accounted for seven touchdowns -- five rushing, two passing in a win over South Carolina in 2007 -- but Burton's five running scores and one touchdown reception earned him a special place in school history.
"I feel very blessed,'' Burton said late Saturday night. "I just wanted to go out there and help the team and I'm thankful I was able to do that.''
