After leading the Owls to a 38-20 victory against Middle Tennessee State Saturday, he is now 1-1 as the starter. That’s not to say he couldn’t be happier.
“It’s been exciting for me,” Driskel said. “Obviously, to get a win (Saturday) is exciting. It would have been better to be 2-0 but don’t look back. Just look forward and I’m looking forward to next week.”
Driskel completed 22 of 29 passes for 187 yards, helping the Owls open the Conference USA schedule with a win. It was his second straight start since replacing Daniel Parr two weeks ago.
