Florida Gators head coach Will Muschamp has encouraged a healthy competition between his three quarterbacks, Jeff Driscoll, Jacoby Brissett and Tyler Murphy, and all have been battling on the field for the right to earn the starter's role for the 2012 campaign.
Muschamp will continue to let that competition continue through the remainder of practice and into the season, according to Jason Lieser, Florida Gators beat writer for the Palm Beach Post:
Gators coach Will Muschamp says QB competition could last all season. Says he plans to announce a starter Aug. 27.

The competition between Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driscoll appears to be the closest with regard to which player will be the starting signal caller, but with an injury to the shoulder of Driscoll in practice this week, Muschamp has no plans to alter his plans of letting the two settle it on the practice field.
