Can I use gyro to drive straight in teleop period?

I wanted to know if you can drive straight using the gyro sensor because we don't have encoder to correct the speed of each motor. We're using tankdrive and right now the problem we're facing is that it's not going in the direction we wanted. For instance, if we move left and right stick to up direction the robot doesn't go straight, and for some reason, I think the speed of left side of the robot is going faster then the right side.

Also, I wanted to know if we can use it in autonomous mode. Like I need help with turning the robot with gyro (corresponding the wheel with the gyro angle.)

This is our first year so we're rookie, and their no programming mentor to mentor us.
