I've seen some Gator fans posting concerns about the deep ball. Found this article about the offense and thought it may ease some minds.

He attempted six deep passes, and five were on the mark. Only one was complete, though, as two more were drops (Quinton Dunbar, Andre Debose) and the other two were defensive pass interference penalties. Driskel is no Russell Wilson at Wisconsin, and he did have his customary should've-been-an-interception throw, but he will do a lot of positive things in this scheme.

I like the fact we were able to get these throws off and give our receivers opportunities to make plays. Last year, we couldn't even get these throws off. I'll be curious to see if UK presses our WRs.

As we all know Driskel went 31/45 in the passing game. Here is a breakdown of where those 45 passes were targeted on the field.
Intermediate: 18
Screens: 11
Flats/Underneath routes: 9
Deep Pass: 6
Throwaway: 1
Percentage wise that is.
Intermediate: 40%
Screens: 24%
Flats/Underneath routes: 20%
Deep Pass: 13%
If it wasn't for the throwaway, Driskels completion percentage would of been 70.4%.
Kinda tired of people saying we did nothing but throw screens all day.
