I don't know, but I haven't been that excited about a quarter back since Tebow, A.R. was good but Lagway just seems so much more disciplined and wiser even for a freshman quarterback, this kid has a high football IQ and you just seen him learning from his mistakes and developing with every play, just Amazing!!!!
I don’t care who the opponent is that’s not making any difference on pin point dimes 40 plus yards downfield . Downfield accuracy is just pure talent it’s kinda why he was a 5 star talent and the number 1 qb in last years recruiting class .

Montrell Johnson Is okay but he’s another Graham Mertz when it come to the running game, the other RB’s are better than Johnson they need to run more against Texas A&M. This offense is design for DJ Lagway wether the Offensive line is average or not they’ll play and block better the more they play with DJ Lagway 🐊
Don’t even get me started on that defense. We had Trask, Toney, and Pitts, and were still finding ways to lose while putting up 50 points. No way that team shouldn’t have at minimum been in the playoff. 🤦🏿♂️😂😂

As a Georgia fan I’m not gonna lie I’m glad to see Florida having signs of life and looking like a top team again. Mertz should never ever start another game. Lagway is the guy, period.
Yes its samford. That being said some of the better touch on the ball that ive seen from our qp play in a while. Still not particularly happy with our db play. Why have we fallen off so bad??? Dline played well. Good to see johnson being a hammer. Lets take it to a&m
There was either 3 or 4 db starters out last night but there’s still no excuses when you play in the SEC, you should be at LEAST 2 deep in every position with spectacular talent
The team just seem to like having Lagway at QB they seem to give the extra effort and fight…starting mertz next week would give me enough to start an internal investigation on Napier fr
Napier and Co. still has not made a change on the right side of the O line. Devon Manuel back up on Left side. can play both left or right. Graded out better than his 2 right tackles, but has not moved him. Hmm, best possible guys start to help you win, best guys on the field? Scared Money right there coach!
Georgia Dawg fan here and that kid Lagway is legit plus they're running back room is decent give Billy a chance Florida is going to be dangerous you heard it first
I like him. Live arm. Can move the pocket/run when necessary. This changes everything. I don’t care that it’s Samford. That kinda offense can play against anybody.
Everybody keep saying it’s Sanford but Dj went down the field in 8 plays last week vs Miami also and looked great and if that lineman would’ve blocked he wouldn’t have thrown that int and prolly would have had two scoring drives haters
Everyone in the comments thinking DJ starts next week don’t even think it for a second. Just hope that this performance makes Billy at least include DJ throughout the year in some sort of package.
Fans have short memories I guess, besides Miami, Mertz has been pretty good as the QB for Florida and throwing a freshmen at our hellish schedule would be idiotic. Also replacing a guy because of injury is as scummy as it gets and recruits/transfers will take note of that.
Stay with Lagway. Billy please do not make the same mistake that Mullen did and stick with an upperclassman for the sake of “loyalty”. We lost out on a year of Anthony Richardson because of that. Clearly we aren’t going to the playoff or anything so just let Lagway learn and take his lumps now. He’ll most likely be gone after his junior year, we can get three years of him this way. Plus, even though he’s much less experienced than Mertz I think he could win us just as many if not more games just off of sheer ability. 🤷🏿♂️
I think every fan agrees that Lagway should be the starter the rest of the season! If Napier starts Mertz against A&M I say we all boo them off the field until they make the change we’re all wanting to see!
I'm a Miami Hurricane fan but I must say, had the freshman qb Lagway played instead of Mertz the results might have been different. Lagway looking the part of an upcoming super 🌟 But at the end of the day it's all about The U🙌
looking solid at QB, o line still needs to have footing and drive, defense needs to have harder leg drive and faster play pursuit with play recog. And we are an elite team with high level of play, good game but still need those work areas to compete at the highest level. And need mentality to stay sound
every throw the Florida QB made looked so aesthetically pleasing, dat boy good!!
@Berley_1234he will

He's too good
Proud of Samford for getting on the board. They never gave up 💯
Yeah 😂
They scored 52 against Florida 2 years ago
Roll with Lagway. He might struggle a bit, but he's the future. Mertz can't throw deep or extend plays.
Bubble screens are great for building stats but not wins.
Crazy how much a difference it is having a qb that can throw more than 30 yards
It's Samford.......SMH
Ik it's just Samford but DJ Lagway looked LEGIT 🔥 2027 Draft could be generational with all these true freshman making impacts

who else thinks DJ should be the starter for Florida cause I do even tho it’s samford im more impressed with DJ than Mertz
Much better than last week. For starters this game we actually caught the ball.
TBH the ball was thrown better because the QB is better and doesn’t constantly take sacks
Lagway era is here!!!
Not for long lol. He's transferring as soon as he can. He won't play for Billy boy or a new coach rebuild.
Plus, he's gonna want a pay increase and we know Florida can't be trusted with the bag.
