3-point stance: Saluting Louisiana Tech's Jeff Driskel

1. The highest-rated quarterback recruit in February of 2011 was not Johnny Manziel or Marcus Mariota, Braxton Miller or Teddy Bridgewater. It was Jeff Driskel of Oviedo, Florida, who signed with Florida, coached by Will Muschamp, whose offenses had issues. Driskel never fulfilled his promise, and he transferred to Louisiana Tech before the 2014 season. In his final collegiate game Saturday, at the R + L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, Driskel threw for 458 yards and three touchdowns, and the Bulldogs beat Arkansas State, 47-28. It was Driskel's first 400-yard game.
