Gators confident with Luke Del Rio at quarterback

Inserted because the Florida Gators needed a spark against Kentucky, redshirt junior Luke Del Rio has found himself where he hoped to be when the season began — starting at quarterback.

Jim McElwain gave the veteran the nod this week against the Vanderbilt Commodores in part because of how Del Rio played and how the offense looked one he took over at Kentucky. It’s not hard to tell the difference in the offense with Del Rio under center. The unit moved quicker, more efficiently and there was seemingly a few pages of the offensive playbook that were uncovered when he came in.
