Florida Gators – Jeff Driskel Isn’t Taking Them Anywhere
Expecting Jeff Driskel and the Florida Gators to go anywhere special – win the SEC, the division or be a threat on the national title is simply delusional, seeing how the quarterback and the offense struggle when it comes to putting points on the board.

Minnesota Vikings – Adrian Peterson Isn’t Unstoppable
The Detroit Lions used an 8-man front to halt Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings after a blistering start, once again showcasing the need for Christian Ponder to start playing like a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL, instead of still looking like a rookie who a little bit out of his depth.

Dallas Cowboys – DeMarco Murray Needs to See More Touches
Balance, or at least the appearance of it, might be the most important thing to an NFL offense.
