Florida QB Lagway Throws Five Interceptions in 20-10 Loss to No.3 LSU

Florida quarterback DJ Lagway had a difficult outing in the Gators' 20-10 loss to No. 3 LSU, throwing a career-high five interceptions, the most by a Florida quarterback since 1992. Lagway's turnovers were attributed to poor decision-making, including staring down receivers and panicking, compounded by injuries that limited his spring and fall practice time. Despite Lagway's struggles, Florida's defense performed well, holding LSU to just 13 points and 316 yards, including 96 rushing yards, and forcing multiple three-and-outs. LSU's Garrett Nussmeier threw for 220 yards and a touchdown, and Dashawn Spears scored on a 58-yard interception return, which was a decisive play in the contest. Florida coach Billy Napier emphasized accountability, citing Lagway's youth and injury setbacks, and stressed the need for the quarterback to improve his progressions and decision-making. The game highlighted ongoing challenges for the Gators as they try to rebound from an earlier loss, with Lagway still searching for consistency in his sophomore season.
