Last night felt good and looked even better. @DerekLagway looked incredible. He definitely gone let it fly. Defense came to play. Wasn't a perfect game by any means for @GatorsFB last night was a breath of fresh air and I know it's on to the next, but last night was fun. RESPECT

QB DJ Lagway is the Answer!

— Matt Jones™ (@mattjonesrb) September 8, 2024

Good thing we’re up at the half. Better than the latter. But it feels like Samford has made a lot of self inflicted plays. And they’re only down 14…. (Sigh)

— Shannon Snell (@theebigbossSS) September 8, 2024

Looking better! On defense I like!!

— Adam Shuler (@Adam_goeshard) September 8, 2024

Driskel over Brisset- mistake
Franks over Trask- mistake
Emory Jones over Richardson- mistake

Please don’t make another mistake by playing Mertz over Lagway

Yea man.. DJ the rest of the way. Don’t look back.

— Shannon Snell (@theebigbossSS) September 7, 2024

Hate the be that guy…. but it don’t feel right to be supper excited about scoring after 10 min against…….. Samford.

Gators 5-star freshman QB DJ Lagway: "Graham (Mertz) is the best thing that could have ever happened to me…that’s what I want to be when I get older."

— Matt Baker (@MBakerTBTimes) September 8, 2024

I’m a big Graham Mertz fan. Good player, great leader, great teammate. Really like him. Hate that he got hurt.

But I’d now play Lagway. Not as automatic as some think, but I think DJ gives UF best chance to win.

Dude might be really special. My 2 cents.

— Frank Frangie (@Frank_Frangie) September 8, 2024

Napier says the Gators are "going to stay the course" with Graham Mertz/DJ Lagway. That sure sounds like Mertz as QB1 and Lagway off the bench in certain situations/packages

— Matt Baker (@MBakerTBTimes) September 8, 2024

and trust me I get it… Everybody loves the freshman quarterback, everybody loves the backup quarterback, until of course they don’t… It’s always funny how that always seems to happen

— Hacker (@RyanGreen1010XL) September 8, 2024

Its like I said on the Gator Bytes podcast this week Florida might as well be playing a high school football team tonight… Texas A&M is a much different animal… They have a better shot of winning if Graham Mertz is the starting quarterback. I know that’s an unpopular opinion.

— Hacker (@RyanGreen1010XL) September 8, 2024

Ain’t no controversy , the kid is special

— Dan Hicken (@DanHicken) September 8, 2024

Through Napier's first 26 games, the Gators completed 15 passes of 40+ yards.
Through 22 minutes tonight, Lagway has a 77-yarder, a 44-yarder and a 40-yarder

— Matt Baker (@MBakerTBTimes) September 7, 2024

Thanks for the memories Graham

DJ Lagway threw for 465 yards and 3 TDs in his first start at Florida as a true freshman. He is big, strong, mobile and fearless. The only thing more explosive than the Gators offense on the field was his rocket launching arm. He is Florida’s best Quarterback. He should be QB1. pic.twitter.com/9ESR8ZWGXu

— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) September 8, 2024

DJ Lagway is not only the QB of the future for the Gators but the QB for right now. Really impressed with his play and yes I know it was Samford… pic.twitter.com/Q5IFnDihUB

Hard to imagine Florida goes back to Mertz, DJ Lagway is legit.

Lagway has more passing yards than any freshman QB in Gators history (324)

Of course, Billy does make some interesting choices…

To hell with what the fans, or that guy in his basement, thinks, will the receivers mutiny if they have to go back to Graham Mertz from DJ Lagway. They all have hopes and dreams and want to be able to display their talent. They can't do that with Mertz like they can with Lagway.

In most cases, with big plays like that, you want to take into consideration the question of the opposition. However, no matter who they're playing, that ball would have been perfectly placed by Lagway.
