Florida's quarterback situation has changed after DJ Lagway suffered a significant leg injury during the game against Georgia. With Lagway sidelined, walk-on Aidan Warner stepped in, completing 7 of 22 passes for 66 yards in a 34-20 loss. Lagway's injury status is uncertain, and he is scheduled for an MRI. Florida's head coach Billy Napier indicated the team will support Warner as they prepare for upcoming games against ranked opponents, including Texas and LSU. The Gators have faced quarterback depth issues, losing multiple scholarship players under Napier's tenure. Despite the challenges, the team showed improvement against Georgia compared to previous losses, but they still seek their first win in the rivalry since Napier took over.
