TAMPA (SNN-TV) – Football is in the air. High School footballe returns on Friday, and the Bucs already have one preseason game under their belts. Tampa hosted the Dolphins on Saturday to kickoff of the 2022 campaign.
In the battle of reserves that kicked off the Buccaneers’ preseason slate, several players put up strong performances on turf.
Kyle Trask drove the Bucs into position to potentially win the game, but Jose Borregales‘ 49-yard field goal attempt hit the right upright and bounced away as time expired, and Miami escaped with a 26-24 victory.
Despite the loss, Trask compiled a predominately solid outing. He completed 25 of 33 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown and one interception for an overall 95.3 passer rating.
Head Coach was well pleased with the former Florida Gator, and plans to see more of the same next week.
“It was more about what kind of moxie he had out on the field and what kind of control he had on the field, whether he would panic in different situations or whether he would do the right thing. He passed a lot of those tests, so he’ll get more of it next week.”
Up next the Buccaneers travel to Nashville for a pair of joint practices ahead of facing the Titans on Saturday.
