GatorNation takes a look at five issues facing Florida as it travels to College Station, Texas, for the SEC debut of Texas A&M:1. Jeff Driskel?s the guy: Driskel beat out Jacoby Brissett to be the Gators? starting quarterback and he?ll make his first career start against the Aggies. He played solidly last week against Bowling Green, completing 10-of-16 passes for 114 yards and one touchdown, but he did badly miss a couple throws. He also finished as UF?s second-leading rusher in the game, and his mobility and running ability is an added element to the offense. He?s going into a hostile environment -- it?s the first SEC game for Texas A&M -- so it?ll be interesting to see how he handles himself.
2. No more handcuffs: The offense is supposedly going to open up this week. UF coach Will Muschamp said he told offensive coordinator Brent Pease he wanted to run the ball a lot against Bowling Green so the Gators could establish their identity as a tough, physical team. He pledged to let Pease open the offense up more this week, and having one QB taking all the first-team snaps in practice should help with that. The Gators aren?t going to throw it around like Steve Spurrier used to, but the run-pass balance will be more equal than the 75 percent run, 25 percent pass the Gators were against the Falcons.
