Great Expectations: Driskel to bring hype, comparisons to UF

By TOM GREEN | Nov. 22, 2010

LAKELAND — With just minutes remaining in his senior season, Jeff Driskel took a snap from his own 9-yard line and dropped back to pass. As Lakeland High defenders bore down on him, the four-star quarterback rolled out to his left to avoid pressure. Running out of time and room, he shed one defender in the backfield and jetted down the left sideline before juking a defensive back in the Dreadnaughts’ secondary. Ninety-one yards later, Driskel accounted for his fifth touchdown of the night, and what would be his last for Oviedo Hagerty High.

'IT'S CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK'

By ANTHONY CHIANG | Nov. 7, 2010

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Gators put up a season-high point total, took a game by the largest margin of victory this year and held an opponent to a season low in total yardage Saturday. But there wasn’t much celebration from Florida after its 55-14 win against Vanderbilt. Not with a chance to clinch a spot in the Southeastern Conference Championship just a week away. With the win, Florida (6-3, 4-3 SEC) turned next week’s showdown with South Carolina into a winner-take-all battle for the SEC East. The Gators and the Commodores (2-7, 1-5 SEC) started slow as they combined for 10 possessions and seven punts in the first quarter, but that changed — at least for Florida.
