Give me Jeff Driskel over Tyler Bray of TN anyday of the week, and twice on Sunday. Where was this Driskel bashing prior to this week?
You want to place blame, start with the O line, Georgia ate us up.
Brisset may want to consider transferring, because unless Driskell suffers a major injury, he’s your QB for the next two years.

I have not as yet accepted the fact that Driskel is a good QB at this stage. I also don’t feel Brisset got a ligitimate chance to prove himself. The few times he was allowed in, he was told to hand the ball off…..something a highschooler could do well. Though Driskel can run “fast” in the open field, he is by far not QUICK. There is a difference between fast and quick. Quick hepls a QB avoid a rush and keeps a play going. Driskel plods and he is really not athletic enough. Compare Johnny Manzeil and even the two QB’s for Tenn & SC.

Well, it looks like we are goingback to the old days of the 70′s and 80′s in the Ga-Fla game. There is always a next year to play Georgia. I would say that I have never seen so many penalties called on Florida. I am still proud of the effort that Florida gave and the Gator fans should be proud of the season Florida has had this year and there is still hope to get to Atlanta. Go Gators and Beat Missouri and then wew can sit back and watch Ole Miss pull the upset on Georgia!!

Just can’t get past the fact that UGA only had to split between USC and UF to go to Atlanta whereas USC had to go @LSU and home against Arkansas, and UF had to go to A & M and vs LSU. Seriously, just atrocious. I swear the SEC schedule makers want Georgia to win the East. By the way am I wrong or can a D lineman hold a running back when a play action has been run and the RB is still behind the line of scrimmage. If so, that holding call that gave UGA the first down after we had forced 3 and out was once again a bogus call against the Gators.

Seems as if Uga’s desperate ghetto tactics worked by forcing the Gators into an undisciplined and seemingly unfocused bunch. Very much out of character during this campaign. Hopefully they learn a lesson about composure. Beat Mizzou!

When the opposing QB throws 3 INTs in the first half and your still losing, reason to be concerned, but hey, who had the Gators at 7-0 going into the cocktail party?
Gonna be a huge LSU and Ole Miss fan next week.

I agree with your overview of the game yesterday…I have been watching this game since 1975…That was the WORST display of sportsmanship, I have ever seen…(On both sides)..I can understand maybe a couple of personal fouls, overall in a rivalry game..However, the pushing, shoving, trash talking after EVERY single play, should be an embarrassment for ALL the players and coaches..For what it is worth, most of the trash talking on the Gator side that I saw, came from players who had not been recruited by our current head coach..I am ready for those junior “stars”, among others, to go ahead and take their trash to “the league”

We are going to have our hands full with FSU. Better hope Driskel can throw the ball against them, or it might get ugly.

I still believe FLORIDA’S a Top 10 team as well, but for Texas A & M to have the S.E.C.’s ”best offense”…mm, well, Alabama runs through, or passes over every defense they’ve played so far this year. However, the Gators need to get more vertical (utilize Dunbar & Reed more!), and Jeff Driskel needs to learn to throw it out of bounds quicker when they play isn’t going anywhere.I got two words, that Jeff Driskel resembles sometimes, (but he’s young enough to ‘change’ that right NOW)…TONY ROMO from Dallas. Otherwise, his legs and arm will continue to get better as he discerns situations more quickly. The Gators finish 10-2 or 11-1, which is MUCH better then what we all were thinking in the begining of Sept.(8-4). And, GO OLE MISS! WORK THOSE UGLY, CLOTHES LINING, DIRTY DAWGS OVER! And, in doing so, give the ‘EASTERN DIV. CHAMPIONSHIP’ to team that didn’t get beat like a drum – the way U.G.A. got thumped by Carolina a few weeks back.
