GAINESVILLE, Fla.
Swingman Paul George Jersey . -- The second
Jeff Driskel started waving for help, Florida coach Will Muschamp knew it was
bad. It turned out to be the worst-case scenario. Driskel broke his lower right
leg Saturday in the first quarter of the 19th-ranked Gators 31-17 victory over
Tennessee, a season-ending injury that thrust seldom-used backup Tyler Murphy
onto the field for the most significant action of his four-year career. Murphy
responded better than anyone could have realistically expected. He had a 52-yard
touchdown throw to Solomon Patton, a swing pass that went the distance, and made
several huge plays with his legs as Florida (2-1, 1-0 SEC) won its ninth
consecutive game in the series. Driskel, who was playing with a brace on his
sprained left knee, broke his right leg while throwing an interception in the
first quarter. Devaun Swafford picked off the pass and returned it 62 yards for
a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Marlon Walls pulled Driskel to the ground and landed
on his leg as he released the ball. Driskel tried to get up, but then dropped
back to the turf and called for trainers. He limped off the field a few minutes
later, got checked on the sideline and then used crutches to get to the locker
room. "I hurt for him and I hurt for us right now," Muschamp said. "Its going to
hurt us. Hes a guy thats won a lot of ballgames here, and its disappointing for
him right now." It was a solid debut for Murphy, a junior whose only pass
attempt came on a 2-point attempt two weeks ago. "It was always in the back of
my mind that I might never play," Murphy said. "I just kept working hard and
kept fighting and kept faith in myself and kept praying for an opportunity. It
wasnt the way I wanted it, but an opportunity is an opportunity." Murphys 7-yard
TD scamper in the fourth quarter made it 31-10 and sent fans scrambling for the
exits. The Volunteers (2-2, 0-1) had hoped to rebound from an embarrassing,
59-14 loss at No. 2 Oregon a week ago. Instead, Tennessee and first-year coach
Butch Jones left Gainesville with another double-digit setback. Jones strangest
decision might have been to bench Justin Worley and give redshirt freshman
Nathan Peterman his first career start on the road and in front of 90,000.
Peterman, who grew up in nearby Jacksonville, had three turnovers in a 17-minute
span in the first half and was benched at the break. He completed 4 of 11 passes
for 5 yards, with two interceptions and a fumble. "To beat a team at home, you
cant turn the football over," Jones said. "Way too many turnovers." Worley wasnt
a whole lot better against a Florida defence which has been mostly dominant
through three games. Worley, who started the first three games, finished 10 of
23 for 149 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions. "Losing is never
accepted or tolerated at Tennessee," Jones said. "But Im proud of our team. They
showed resiliency. They didnt quit. They gave us an opportunity to be in the
game at the end of the game. We have to keep getting better. We have to keep
things in perspective as we continue to build this football program. We took
some small steps, but we have a long way to go." Where Florida goes from here
will largely depend on Murphy. He completed 8 of 14 passes for 134 yards. He ran
10 times for 84 yards. "He didnt just manage our team," Muschamp said. "He
produced in critical situations." Murphy made a few mistakes, but only one
costly one. He wasnt looking and took a snap off his facemask, a botched play
that resulted in a fumble. That was one of nine turnovers on the day. The
Volunteers had six -- four in the first half. Peterman had three, and Raijon
Neal fumbled on the teams second play. Dante Fowler Jr. wrecked the exchange,
his first of several big plays. Florida had three turnovers in the first half,
including running back Matt Jones second in two games. Jones was benched in
favour of Mack Brown, who ran 24 times for 86 yards and a touchdown. Muschamp
said hes going to go with the "hot hand" at running back beginning next week at
Kentucky. This much is certain: Murphy will be under centre. Murphy has been
buried on the depth chart, watching from the sideline as Driskel, Jacoby
Brissett, John Brantley, Jordan Reed and Trey Burton all took snaps ahead of him
the last three years. He considered transferring, but refused to listen to all
the people urging him to change positions. "I just didnt want to give up,"
Murphy said. "I felt like if I changed positions, I would have gave up on myself
and I probably wouldnt be able to live with myself."
