Florida replaces Jeff Driskel with Treon Harris, immediately scores touchdown

On Saturday, Florida fans finally got the news they've been calling for, seemingly for weeks now.

Starting quarterback Jeff Driskel has been incredibly ineffective in his time in Gainesville, and has held the program back for years after arriving in town with plenty of hype around his name.

Driskel completed 11-of-23 passes for 59 yards and three interceptions before he was pulled from Saturday's game against Tennessee. 

He was replaced by freshman Treon Harris, who immediately led the team on a scoring drive, completing his only pass attempt for 12 yards, and rushing for 10 more before running back Matt Jones punched the ball in from two yards out.

Harris then led the Gators on an eight-play drive that resulted in a field goal and propelled Florida to a 10-9 road victory.

The Gators' defense has been strong this season. It will be interesting if the team can rally around Harris and make a run in the wide open SEC East, now that the rest of the squad doesn't have to keep picking up Driskel, like they did on this sequence of back-to-back interceptions:
