DJ Lagway joins Billy Napier on UF hotseat

There are losses, and then there are the kind of soul-crushing job-threatening losses that rob a fan base of all its hope.

Florida’s 20-10 loss at No. 3 LSU on Saturday night falls squarely into the latter category.

It wasn’t simply that the Gators lost to a really good team on the road. It was how they lost, and more importantly, who cost them the game.

Sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway – once hailed as the golden-armed prodigy who would rescue coach Billy Napier’s teetering tenure in Gainesville – threw five interceptions. Five! That’s the second-most in Florida football history.

Lagway didn’t just have a bad night. He had an historically bad night. The kind of abysmal night that reshapes narratives, shifts futures, and threatens to drag down not just one career, but two.
