SEC honors UF's Driskel

Florida sophomore quarterback Jeff Driskel picked up his first SEC Offensive Player of the Week honors Monday, the league announced.

Driskel completed 14-of-20 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 81 yards in Florida's 37-20 win at Tennessee. He accounted for 300 of Florida's 555 total offensive yards, the most for the Gators in an SEC game since 2001.
 
He led the Gators to 27 second-half points, throwing both of his touchdowns in the second half, to overcome a 14-10 halftime deficit. His TD passes were for 23 and 75 yards and also had a season-long 28 yard rush against the Vols.
