GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback DJ Lagway has gone from appearing rusty to looking lost . It's not what anyone envisioned even though he missed nearly nine months dealing with various injuries.
He is dancing in the pocket, leading to off-balance throws that end up sailing over receivers or spinning into the ground. He is failing to get through his progressions, allowing defenders to lock onto his first read . He is lacking situational awareness — when to audible, when to run and when to slide — and showing little feel for the game.
He is still coach Billy Napier’s guy, and that is unlikely to change.
Napier is sticking with his turnover-prone starter despite a five-interception performance in a 20-10 loss at No. 3 LSU on Saturday night.
