GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida's quarterback DJ Lagway is set to play a crucial role in determining the future of head coach Billy Napier at the University of Florida. Lagway, a standout freshman, will have the opportunity to showcase his talent and potentially secure a much-needed victory for Napier as the Gators face a challenging schedule in November, starting with a matchup against No. 2 Georgia this Saturday in Jacksonville.
The Gators, currently 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the Southeastern Conference, are aiming to end a three-game losing streak against Georgia and provide Napier with a significant win against a ranked opponent and a rival. Napier's track record against ranked teams and rivals has been less than stellar, with a 2-12 record against ranked opponents and a 1-9 record against rival teams over the past three seasons.
