The Florida Gators faced significant challenges in a recent game against the Texas Longhorns due to injuries, notably sidelining freshman quarterback DJ Lagway with a hamstring injury, leading to third-string quarterback Aidan Warner starting the game. Despite trailing 35-0 at halftime and struggling offensively, athletic director Scott Stricklin has publicly supported head coach Billy Napier, emphasizing stability to support recruiting efforts and deter transfer threats.
