Florida has a quarterback competition on its hands this week.
Jacoby Brissett is still UF’s starter at quarterback, but Jeff Driskel will have an opportunity to capture the job this week.
Changes on defense are likely after the Gators have given up 464 rushing yards in back-to-back losses against Alabama and LSU.
This is when we learn the most about the Gators.
BATON ROUGE, La. — The Gators walked out of Death Valley alive. That’s about the only positive you can take away from Saturday’s loss.
BATON ROUGE, La. — After the Gators got punched in the mouth, they shot themselves in the foot.
BATON ROUGE, La. — The Gators’ defense only saw 14 passes Saturday afternoon. That was still more than it could handle.

This year was supposed to be different.
With a matchup against the No. 1 team in the country looming, with John Brantley out, with so much doom and gloom surrounding the Gators this week, it’s hard to get excited for Saturday.
Jacoby Brissett has come a long way in a short time.
Florida’s defensive line has struggled to pressure quarterbacks this year, and the unit will face its stiffest test yet Saturday. LSU has allowed only three sacks this season, the fewest in the Southeastern Conference.
On the surface, Jeff Driskel seems like the obvious choice to start in place of John Brantley.
Like last weekend, when Florida plays LSU on Saturday, the Gators will be trying to stop a Heisman candidate from beating them.
There are plenty of questions surrounding the Gators this week as they head in to Death Valley to take on No. 1 LSU. Who will start at quarterback? Will Florida be able to establish the run? How will the defense respond after last week’s beating?
As Florida prepares for life without John Brantley, three other quarterbacks are splitting repetitions in practice.
That line-of-scrimmage whooping was a fluke. Florida’s offensive linemen swear.
