By Tuesday, the Driskel Nutswingers will have his Heisman Campaign back up and will have a list of 100 reasons why it was everyone else's fault.

Law I was at the front of the bus on that but its time for him to get fitted for a nice pair of head sets and relay some plays to the field.

This game was not one to bring Treon in. UT would be a better situation. Confidence is everything for a qb

Yes I have seen many true freshman play that had way better field awareness and touch on their passes than Driskel.

Not one to bring Treon in? WTF? Nothing else was working. Why not give him game experience?

I agree Jeff has made enough mistakes, perhaps he should play a little receiver instead.

They will have 93 reasons, the number of yards noodle arm threw for today.

Driskel is not an SEC caliber QB. Xavier Lee was the #1 dual threat QB when he arrived at the clown school. We need to get Treon ready. Driskel can make sure the Gatorade stays at the appropriate cold temperature. He would be late calling the plays in.

How about waterboy. I've seen enough of him on the actual paying field.

The idea is to get a young QB quality experience and gain confidence. Not get destroyed by a championship caliber D.

Who's to say he couldn't get quality experience in this game? Your opinion?

I agree with the confidence is primo for the QB. Start Treon for TN, but it would not have been wise to have him in a game out of control and done. Now if Chump had the balls to start him in the second half opening drive... I could see that, but not in a clean up job in which we were already the garbage being tossed out of the stadium. IMHO

The guy is a bust, it happens... pumpers need to live with that. The lead by example is not there, moxie is meek and the want to is missing from the body language. Top SEC caliber QB unfortunately he is not.

With the off week coming up this might be the time to do it...however there is 0% chance barring injury that Muschamp puts his future on the line for a true frosh QB.

For better or worse, but usually for the better, SOS wouldn't hesitate to bench a highly touted recruit or someone who was lighting it up previously, am I right, a Terry Dean. It's part of the process of getting better if you aren't getting it done on the field.

There were so many things that went wrong everywhere today, but you can't mitigate the damage when your QB is inaccurate and can't extend drives.

Driskel is a struggle. He didn't give up any of the 640+ yards the D gave up

There's more chinks in our system
