GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- One will start, both will play. And when the season opener is over, No. 23 Florida probably will decide between the two.

Offensive coordinator Brent Pease says he's not sure the team's two-quarterback system is sustainable beyond Saturday's game against Bowling Green, meaning the Gators likely will choose between Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driskel before traveling to Texas A&M for the Southeastern Conference opener.

Pease says, "It depends how they play, I guess, and what they create."

The sophomores have battled for the starting job since spring practice. Coach Will Muschamp says each will play a quarter in the first half Saturday, and then the coaches will decide how to progress after halftime.
