HOOVER, Ala.- Jeff Driskel notebook from SEC media days:
-Nothing else in his life changes now that he has signed with the Red Sox.
-His girlfriend also hunts hogs, she gets one when they go out, but his is always bigger.
-He didn’t take Louisville lightly, they simply beat them.
-He doesn’t worry about Clowney, he doesn’t block him.
-He likes being a leader and in everything during the spring was centered around him thanks to no QB competition.
-Driskel likes the continuity of not having to worry about a coaching change on the offense.
-He’ll have to be more careful with the ball when he scrambles, it’ll be important for him to throw the ball away and slide if he needs to get a first down.
-Last year he knows the team fell a little short in the SEC East but this year they feel up to it.
-He has all the potential in the world and is excited about Demarcus Robinson.
-Demarcus Robinson is a guy that the national media doesn’t know about but is a guy who will contribute.
-He thinks he is most like Russell Wilson of NFL QB’s, says Pease makes them watch a lot of Seahawks tape.
-He hasn’t really studied Alabama, Florida doesn’t play them, he hasn’t seen them on tape.
-Of the other SEC quarterbacks, he likes James Franklin and Tyler Russell. He was able to spend time with them at the Manning passing camp.
-Florida’s biggest rival in his opinion? Georgia.
-Demarcus Robinson being in school early is key. He’s someone that stands out and it’s good that he was able to learn schemes and terminology.
-Being a leader isn’t something he feels you magically know how to do, it comes with time and effort and it isn’t just a flipped switch, it grows over time.
