UF, quarterback Jeff Driskel full of confidence with trip to Tennessee ahead
By Jason Lieser Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — With 47 seconds left Saturday, Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel knew he would walk out of Texas A&M's Kyle Field with an enormous victory. After surviving an early ambush from the Aggies and patiently guiding the Gators to a 20-17 lead, he finally got the call to end it with a kneel down.
"That's the best play in football," he said. "It was a close game the whole game, and that clock couldn't tick down fast enough."
It was the most impressive performance of Driskel's whirlwind two years at Florida. He fell behind fellow sophomore Jacoby Brissett, a former Dwyer High School star, partway through last season, then worked his way back to even in the race.
Just a few weeks ago, he appeared to have a 50-50 shot of being the Gators' starter. Now he claims a road win at one of the SEC's toughest venues and has teammates surging with confidence as they prepare for Saturday's trip to Tennessee.
