Florida football coach Will Muschamp said Friday he would not be announcing a starting quarterback on Monday as originally planned.

Instead, quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driskel both will play in the Gators’ season opener vs. Bowling Green at 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 1 in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

“They both deserve the right to play, they’ve earned that, and they both deserve the right to start. They’ve both had really good camps” Muschamp sai, sporting a green striped polo shirt. “We’re right down the middle as far as 62, 63 completion percentage. Their numbers are very similar whether it’s in one-minute, third-down — we’ve taken the details all the way down … both guys are very even and our football team has great confidence in both of them.”
