Florida Gators To Use Two Quarterbacks vs. Texas A&M

The Florida Gators are set to employ a two-quarterback system featuring Graham Mertz and freshman DJ Lagway in their upcoming SEC opener against Texas A&M. Mertz, who suffered a concussion in the season opener against Miami, had a lackluster performance before being replaced by Lagway, who shone in his debut against Samford with a record-breaking 456 yards and three touchdowns. Head coach Billy Napier has indicated that both quarterbacks will play, but he has not disclosed the specific rotation strategy, creating uncertainty for Texas A&M's defensive preparations. Aggies coach Mike Elko acknowledged the challenge of preparing for the dual QB approach, highlighting Lagway's talent and the need for flexible game planning. As Florida seeks to bounce back from an early-season loss, the matchup promises to be a critical test for both teams. The Gators are currently underdogs in this highly anticipated game.
