. That is the best attitude-- we were fortunate to get him and he was fortunate to have coaches and system that saved his career.

If he makes it big you will see feature story after feature story that will highlight the fact the Florida program left his career for dead only to see it resurrected at Tech by Skip Holtz and his staff.
Quite frankly I can't blame any of these announcers for not highlighting what he accomplished after he left Florida if they're not given that information. A single 12-graph story this week from any news outlet that highlights the fact his career was all but over until he stepped onto the Tech campus in 2015 and what he accomplished at Tech would almost certainly change the narrative for the rest of the preseason.

Here's where I'm coming from. Maybe Skip needs to send him a care package just to see the response.
(If we already don't do this).
Aug. 4 tweet from @jeffdriskel:
"Thank you @CoachMcElwain @GatorsFB and @GatorsEquipment for the care package. Once a Gator always a Gator!"

So he is not a part of the Dawg family after all? Oh well, he helped get us some wins and that was the HCSH plan all along.

He's not going to mention us in a thank you tweet to Florida people.

I am continually reminding them on Twitter, and keep getting retweets and likes.

Yes, because he is a gator. He graduated as a Gator. He is also a Bulldog.

His twitter shows - former qb florida/la tech, proud grad of both. His header is NO Bowl promo
Re: Jeff Driskel Looking Good
Looks like his ex is trying to get back with him (referring sarcastically about UF, not his personal life - of which I have no knowledge).

Probably want to take credit for his success.
Re: Jeff Driskel Looking Good
Yeah, it wasn't that long ago they made him the scapegoat.
