Tim Tebow Urges Florida QB DJ Lagway Confidence Ahead Texas Clash

Tim Tebow, a former Florida Gators quarterback and ESPN analyst, has offered guidance to current Gators sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway as the team prepares for a high-profile SEC matchup against Texas. Tebow emphasized the importance of Lagway playing with confidence, aggressiveness, and joy, encouraging him to block out external pressure and rediscover his love for football amid criticism and a difficult start to the season. He advised that the Gators' offensive scheme should play to Lagway's strengths by incorporating more play-action and deep passes to help the quarterback find rhythm and momentum. Tebow also highlighted the need for Lagway to develop a near-arrogant confidence, similar to what Tebow experienced during his own collegiate career, and suggested that coach Billy Napier tailor plays to energize and motivate Lagway. This advice comes as Lagway faces challenges, including a three-game losing streak and a statistical decline compared to his freshman year, while preparing to face Texas quarterback Arch Manning in a nationally watched duel. Tebow believes that early success in the game could dictate Lagway's performance and the Gators' chances to regain their footing this season.
