re: Which Florida football players are you most excited about this year?

But Driskel was responsible for his 2 costly INTs, and both were in the redzone.

When dishing out responsibility you really do have to look further than "he stared x down", "he threw into traffic for y".

You have to look at other factors.

Is he a dropback quarterback? No. What style did we run at that time? (Pro, which necessitates a dropback quarterback.)

Did he ever have adequate time to pass? No. That's the O-Line.

Was he told that he ought to scramble to get out of trouble, or seek the pass first? I think by inference alone we can state that the coaching staff told him to throw first, scramble as a last option. Which is his strongest attribute.

Were his receivers motivated? Good? Running the correct routes?

No, no and no.

Was there any running game at all?

No.

I sincerely have to wonder how you can shoulder two interceptions on bad throws when: There is no running game, we have a system quarterback out of his system, there is no offensive line, there's a lack of creation playcalling wise, there are no good receivers even on the field or if they are, they don't feel like helping Driskel out and finally: The fanbase doesn't support the quarterback.

I don't blame Driskel for shite last year, he did what he could while being told to suppress his nature and having -no- support from anyone on the field or off.

Kid's okay in my book, and will be just fine if he's allowed to move around the field and not asked to be Tom Brady.
