Driskel had 12 drives in the game against Tennessee. His 12 drives averaged 12 yards per drive. He had 0 points & 3 interceptions. Only one direction to go from here.....no way he can get any worse, even though that's the worst SEC defense we will face all year.


He had a total of seven drops (one counted on top of Burton getting Pass Interference) -- two of which ended up as interceptions with Palmer personally saying they weren't his fault.

Argue all you want about him not being a good player -- but his team did not help him.

If those seven drops had been completions he would be 18/23.

His passes weren't horrible, maybe a bit fast but Goddamn I'd love to hear an NFL player use that as an excuse. "He threw it too hard. "

Sure, say he's a bad QB, but let's not pretend the team has supported him through thick and thin. They've been half-assing their routes, giving up on routes altogether, running wrong routes and simply not playing as if they want to win.

Suddenly, at the end of the game, our offensive line can block and are completing their assignments?

Jones is rushing for first downs?

Receivers aren't dropping anything? (Although he didn't really throw at all.)

Even the touchdown had nothing to do with him since we simply powered it in.

Good lord, anything for you guys to admit our team is a fricking joke.

Straws I thought you were totally wrong about the team quitting on Driskel until I read an interview that they did with DJ Humphries and he said that since they knew Harris was a freshman he needed more time to throw so they blocked harder than they do with Driskel because Driskel gets the ball out faster. WTF are you f'ing serious bench them all.

Here is his quote. ''It's a big difference from having a guy who's been there and a guy who hasn't been there,'' offensive lineman D.J. Humphries said. ''There's some antsiness. We have to protect him better so he can actually see stuff. Jeff is older and sees stuff easier than Treon. With Treon, you have to make sure he gets optimum time to see everything he can see.''
