WATCH: Florida's Kadarius Toney takes screen pass for a 66-yard TD thanks to speed, broken tackles
Florida-Miami is the game kicking off the 2019 college football season.
The contest between the two Sunshine State schools can be seen on ESPN. After an opening drive field goal by Miami, Florida was looking to respond. Forced to a fourth-and-three situation, the Gators decided to run some trickery and called a fake punt:

The very next play, Florida utilized its speed and play-making players by calling a screen pass. Kadarius Toney, a wide receiver for the Gators, then did this:

Again, Toney’s got wheels. That was obvious. The broken tackles are what will make Miami’s coaching staff go crazy, though.
Once you catch a player with that type of speed, you have to bring him down.
Miami didn’t and is now facing a 7-3 deficit in the first quarter.
