Florida fans have had their wishes granted: there will be no struggling Jeff Driskel against Georgia. 

Florida quarterback Treon Harris will start against Georgia on Nov. 1, Gators coach Will Muschamp confirmed on the SEC teleconference Wednesday.  

Current starting quarterback Jeff Driskel has been a point of contention among Gators fans. This season Driskel has six passing touchdowns but has thrown 10 interceptions. 

Muschamp had the following to say about Harris:

You saw what he did late in the game (on Oct. 11 versus LSU). He has a knack for making plays and making some good things happen for our football team. We've struggled with production at the quarterback position, and that's been an issue for us along with others. Been a huge issue for us.

He's got a much better understanding as we continue to move forward. We've got an open week now where he's getting a bunch of reps. Jeff's still going to have a role on our football team as a quarterback. Right now we feel like that was the best move moving forward.
