Owls QBs Johnson, Driskel begin battle in 'open competition'
Florida Atlantic quarterback Jason Driskel has been through this before. He’s been the older player in a quarterback competition. He’s split reps with the first-team offense. He’s even done it while learning a new playbook.
But he hasn’t had to fend off a former Florida State quarterback coming off an All-American season in junior college: De’Andre Johnson.
“Competition is competition in general,” Driskel said Tuesday. “There’s always competition, no matter what position you play, no matter what sport you play. So you just got to come out here and be the best version of yourself you can be every day. That’s what I got to do.”
