Dan Mullen calls Auburn's hit on Kyle Trask 'dirty'

During the second quarter of Saturday’s huge game between Auburn and Florida, Gators quarterback Kyle Trask suffered a knee injury on a hit below the waist.

During halftime, Florida head coach Dan Mullen called it a “dirty” hit.

Dan Mullen calls out Auburn for "dirty" hit on Kyle Trask:

“Yeah, he’s going to be okay. He’s going to come back, I think he has a light sprain to his MCL.

“Hopefully the league tries to keep quarterbacks safe from dirty plays.”

It’s easy to understand why Mullen would be upset. He’s already lost one quarterback for the season, and it’s fortunate he didn’t lose a second on that play.

However, the video of this hit shows that the defender who hit Trask was actually dragged down to Trask’s knee by a Florida offensive lineman. In no way was it a dirty hit, despite what Mullen feels.
