The meeting is to talk about what they need to do to get to the point where they can be the most productive for the program and in some circumstances, whether they expect them to be productive. http://florida.scout.com/2/1284670.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1284670.html Thu, 18 Apr 2013 06:50:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida junior Quarterback Jeff Driskel and junior wide receiver Quinton Dunbar discuss improvements the Gators have made during spring practice thus far. It has only been a week, but Florida is making progress toward an improved offense in 2013. http://florida.scout.com/2/1276140.html 2047 Allison Banko http://florida.scout.com/2/1276140.html Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:37:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel went into preseason camp fighting for a starting job. He’ll line up under center on Wednesday to quarterback a BCS game. The sophomore’s transformation from beginning to end of the year is one offensive coordinator Brent Pease is proud of, but he’s even more excited for the two years Driskel has left on campus, as he continues to develop at the position. http://florida.scout.com/2/1253294.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1253294.html Mon, 31 Dec 2012 00:23:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Being away from the practice field gave Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel some time to reflect. He was able to think back over his first regular season as a starter and find some areas that needed to improve. It wasn’t always easy to do that during the season. The constant week-to-week grind of game plans dominated his mind during the season, but he’s using bowl practice to improve fundamentals. http://florida.scout.com/2/1251671.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1251671.html Sun, 23 Dec 2012 18:00:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – As the medication wore off at the end of the game and Jeff Driskel started to feel his ankle sprain more, the Florida quarterback welcomed the pain. The real damage had already been delivered on the field while the Gators were running out the clock for a 37-26 win. It would have taken much more than Driskel’s ankle sprain to keep the sophomore quarterback off the field. http://florida.scout.com/2/1243664.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1243664.html Mon, 26 Nov 2012 05:25:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida After sitting out against Jacksonville State with a sprained right ankle, Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel will return to the practice field on Tuesday as the team begins preparation for Florida State. That’s all coach Will Muschamp knows at this point. Driskel is expected to play on Saturday, but Muschamp isn’t sure if he will start. http://florida.scout.com/2/1241670.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1241670.html Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:30:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida In a season where the Gators have overachieved in many fans’ eyes there can be those moments of brevity even if it is about something that isn’t going quite as well. One of those moments happened on Saturday in the first offensive series when sophomore quarterback Jeff Driskel rolled out of the pocket to his left after he was being rushed and he threw the ball out of bounds. http://florida.scout.com/2/1236956.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1236956.html Tue, 06 Nov 2012 02:54:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel knows Saturday wasn’t his best performance. With defensive linemen constantly in his face and a Florida rushing attack that was slow to get started, the sophomore quarterback wasn’t put in many positions to succeed on Saturday. However, he knows that he missed some throws, too. It wasn’t an eye-popping performance from the offense yet again. http://florida.scout.com/2/1236228.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1236228.html Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:53:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Something we have learned about Florida’s sophomore quarterback Jeff Driskel is that he is one tough customer. In a game against Georgia where the Gators turned the ball over six times and he was responsible for four of them, he was leading his team down the field with less than three minutes to go and try to send the game to overtime. It was to no avail. But just two yards short of a big finish. http://florida.scout.com/2/1234846.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1234846.html Tue, 30 Oct 2012 02:12:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel owned it. He threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles in easily the worst game of his career, but the sophomore quarterback took responsibility for it after the game. His decisions on the field kept points off the board as the Florida offense struggled and often set the Georgia offense up for points. http://florida.scout.com/2/1234258.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1234258.html Sun, 28 Oct 2012 05:18:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida came in as 6.5 point favorites but made way too many miscues on the offensive side of the ball to beat a Georgia football team that had thir own issues on that side of the ball. Here are severall pictures depicting some of the few Gators' highlights in the game. http://florida.scout.com/2/1234149.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1234149.html Sun, 28 Oct 2012 00:03:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida The Florida Gators were perched as high as they could possibly expect to be when the first BCS poll of the season came out on Sunday. The Gators are undefeated and have played maybe the toughest schedule in America so far, but they also have work to do in order to shore up some weak spots. Quarterback Jeff Driskel understands all of that and expects his team to continue to progress. http://florida.scout.com/2/1230246.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1230246.html Mon, 15 Oct 2012 18:12:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With all eyes on Mike Gillislee after the statistics the senior running back has put up, quarterback Jeff Driskel decided to pounce. The Gators pounded the ball 34 times with Gillislee last week against LSU, and the Vanderbilt defense was ready for it again. Driskel used that mindset against them, burning the Commodores for a record-setting 177 yards on the ground. http://florida.scout.com/2/1229970.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1229970.html Sun, 14 Oct 2012 21:55:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel used to be quiet in meeting rooms. He would watch film and learn the game plan before studying it in the week before a game. In recent weeks, Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease has seen the sophomore quarterback become more vocal and involved in creating the game plan. It’s the next step in maturity that the Florida coaches wanted to see. http://florida.scout.com/2/1227326.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1227326.html Wed, 03 Oct 2012 05:01:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida sophomore quarterback Jeff Driskel believes he understands the talent level he will be facing this Saturday when the Bengal Tigers of LSU come to The Swamp to take on the Gators in an SEC matchup. The state of Louisiana has more players playing in the NFL per capita than any other state in the country and the best players in that state go to LSU. http://florida.scout.com/2/1226889.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1226889.html Mon, 01 Oct 2012 20:58:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida’s faith in Jeff Driskel balloons with each win. The staff’s confidence in the sophomore first fired in the season opener against Bowling Green, when the Oviedo native racked up more snaps at quarterback than Jacoby Brissett. It continued in College Station, Texas, when he was named UF’s starting quarterback. This week, he joined Sam Robey and Sharrif Floyd in the coveted role as captain. http://florida.scout.com/2/1224101.html 2047 Allison Banko http://florida.scout.com/2/1224101.html Sat, 22 Sep 2012 23:25:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The throw looked simple on film. Jeff Driskel received a shotgun snap on 3rd and 7, took a three-step drop and threw a five-yard pass to Frankie Hammond. The senior wide receiver did the rest, completing a 75-yard touchdown pass to clinch the game for Florida. Through the speed and cutback ability that Hammond showed to steal the show, the continued development of Driskel went under the radar. http://florida.scout.com/2/1223655.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1223655.html Fri, 21 Sep 2012 02:45:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Jeff Driskel spent his week correcting issues. The sophomore quarterback was sacked eight times at Texas A&M last week, and six of them came when he held the football too long. He wasn’t sacked once by Tennessee. Driskel stood in the pocket, delivering big throws on target while taking hits. It was a product of the time spent last week in practice. http://florida.scout.com/2/1221994.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1221994.html Sun, 16 Sep 2012 06:06:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Once the decision was made on a starting quarterback, things were going to be easier. But not easy. Florida’s Jeff Driskel was named the starting quarterback after game one of the season and it meant he had to go on the road into hostile environments in both of his first starts. There have been some bumps and bruises, but Driskel has come on and looked the part. The test continues Saturday. http://florida.scout.com/2/1221571.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1221571.html Fri, 14 Sep 2012 19:25:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida COLLEGE STATION, Texas—With his ear-to-ear smile shining through his facemask, Jeff Driskel looked around the offense and breathed deep. One more snap from victory in his first start at quarterback for the Gators. With a three-point lead and the Aggies out of timeouts, Driskel went under center, took the snap and fell to a knee, securing the 20-17 win for Florida. http://florida.scout.com/2/1219605.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1219605.html Sun, 09 Sep 2012 03:59:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida
