Chopped Down
Nov. 28, 2010TALLAHASSEE — Florida still has one game left in 2010, but rebuilding for 2011 starts now. That was the message coach Urban Meyer emphatically delivered during his press conference after Florida State’s 31-7 drubbing of UF in Doak Campbell Stadium. The Gators (7-5, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) lost to the Seminoles (9-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) and lost five games in a season for the first time in Meyer’s tenure. This is also the first five-loss regular season since 1988. Meyer said his coaching staff would hit the road Sunday and immediately turn their focus to bringing in as many tough-ass players as possible.

Great Expectations: Driskel to bring hype, comparisons to UF
By TOM GREEN | Nov. 22, 2010LAKELAND — 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.
