I have to say, that really touched me. You could almost feel his thoughts in that little smile... 'I threw the game winning touchdown right into Westbrook's hands last week and he drops it, but this kid throws one up for grabs vs four defenders and Westbrook comes down with it.' Lots of Driskel's problems arise from his own errors, but he also can't ever seem to catch a break. I really like the young man, and I wish it had turned out very differently for him.

One moment that was very poignant in it's own way was the little smile on Driskels face when Harris tossed that ill advised wounded duck into the middle of 4 defenders and the guy who dropped probably the game winner last week against lsu caught it.

Br. John,
You may be right about Driskel. He may now be ruined beyond redemption. There is little doubt about his confidence. We should remember, however, that he has the physical skills to be successful. I have questioned his mental skills but I believe those are a product of poor coaching. I don't necessarily blame Roper for that either. As I mentioned yesterday during the game, none of the coaches came up to him after the turnovers. They did not encourage him, nor did they yell at him. In either case, the coach would have shown Driskel that he cared.
I suspect that Driskel will transfer at the end of the season AND I think it may be a good thing for him. I am sure he feels like he is the cause of all of the Gator's problems.

I'm sure Foley wishes he knew what the best plan is. Nobody knows. There are upsides and downsides to throwing WM overboard now, or doing it at the end of the season.Nobody knows what the best choice is. Foley is undoubtedly talking to lots of people, and hell, consulting his Ouija Board. If he were to fire WM today, I would understand. Wait till the end of the season, I understand that as well.As fans, all we can do is try to stay as optimistic as we can, and have faith in Foley. This is certainly a terrible situation to be in. Foley's staying with WM just like WM is staying with Driskel. But Driskel has clearly lost every shred of confidence in himself. He's just a uniform out there, there's nobody in it anymore. If we're gonna stink up the joint, and suck so badly, then let the freshman play the whole game. At least he'll be getting game experience for the next few years.What a mess.John
