La. Tech coach: Jeff Driskel was 'scapegoat' at Florida

Last weekend, Jeff Driskel made his debut as the quarterback for Louisiana Tech … and it was a moment that Bulldogs fans loved, as he scored five touchdowns (four passing and one rushing) in the team’s 62-15 win over Southern University.

At the same time, fans of his former school, the Florida Gators, were wondering where that type of performance was when he was in Gainesville.

Driskel’s new coach, Skip Holtz, has come to his quarterback’s defense about his treatment from the fans while in Gainesville:

Driskel had his moments of brilliance in Gainesville, but fans couldn’t get over the turnovers and losses during the time he was under center. Was it all his fault? Of course not. But the quarterback is the one who is going to get all the blame along with all the credit.
