Remember this guy?
Why, it’s Jeff Driskel.
Certainly, they remember Driskel at the University of Florida, a team that struggled without a quarterback for most of the season. Well, Driskel is a quarterback, although he had begun to represent disappointment for the Gators.
But Driskel has found new life at Louisiana Tech, a team he led to a 47-28 victory over Arkansas State in the New Orleans Bowl Saturday night. Driskel hit 26 of 37 passes for 457 yards and three touchdowns, suggesting it might not have been all on him while at Florida.
Remember this guy?
Why, it’s Skip Holtz, who brings to mind some disappointment of his own while at South Florida. But Holtz led the the Bulldogs to a remarkably easy victory. Louisiana Tech had 676 yards total offense in the easy win.
Kenneth Dixon had 112 receiving yards and 91 rushing — plus four touchdowns — to help the Bulldogs. Trent Taylor had 149 receiving yards and Paul Tanner had 97. Boston Scott had 106 yards.
The game was tied at 17 at the half, but Tech outscored Arkansas State 30-11 in the second half.
