Florida realized it would miss Tim Tebow after the former Heisman Trophy winner departed for the NFL. But for a night, at least, the Gators found someone just as good statistically.

Gators freshman backup quarterback-receiver Trey Burton scored six touchdowns, five on runs and a sixth on a pass reception, to break Tebow's school record in a 48-14 win against Kentucky. Tebow had five touchdowns in the Gators' 2007 game against South Carolina, his Heisman Trophy season.

He became the first SEC player to score six touchdowns in one game since Cadillac Williams in 2003 vs. Mississippi State. Burton is the fourth player in SEC history to score at least six TDs in one contest.

"Trey Burton was fantastic. ... There were a lot of great players that played in this stadium and he broke some records,'' Gators coach Urban Meyer said.

Meyer said Florida coaches had, "No idea what we had'' until Burton arrived on campus. "He's the kind of guy you just feel comfortable with because he picks it up,'' Meyer said.

Burton had only five carries for 40 yards - scoring every time he carried the ball. He also had five receptions for 37 yards.
