Title: Some SEC News to Start the Morning
Post by: Townhallsavoy on October 08, 2011, 08:06:43 AM

Florida will start Jacoby Brissett against LSU today.  He's a 6'5 230 pound true freshman quarterback with (high school stop watch) a 4.5 40 yard dash. 

The last time Florida started a true freshman quarterback? 

2003 - Chris Leak @LSU. 

Florida was 3-3 and went into Tiger Stadium to upset the undefeated Nick Saban-led LSU Tigers.

Interesting. It's one way to spare Driskell, skew the sack total and soften him up for our guys next week.

Driskell is a little banged up as well. So, I wonder how much of this is Driskell is banged up, and how much is it that Brissett is better than Driskell. Should be an interesting game one way or another.
