Driskel Catches Cold After Being Unable To Throw Used Tissue Away
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2012 7:15 pm
Quarterback Jeff Driskel missed practice today while dealing with a cold he caught while walking around campus holding a used tissue. The sophomore noticed the crusty tissue laying in the grass yesterday morning and picked it up hoping to find a trash receptacle, but none were near, so he carried it with him throughout the day. Friends, teammates, and coaches urged Driskel to throw the tissue away, warning him of a potential illness, but Driskel refused. "I kept telling him to throw it away, but he wouldn't listen," said girlfriend and Gator cheerleader, Tarin Moses. "I said, 'Jeff! You're going to get sick and you have a game this weekend!' He told me he'd throw it away, but the next time I saw him, like, four hours later, he was STILL holding on to it." Will Muschamp said his starting quarterback should be back at practice tomorrow where he plans to work with Driskel for a good part of practice on throwing used tissues away in a timely manner and washing his hands afterward with hand sanitizer or soap.
