Florida last week was able to give Georgia all it wanted before losing 24-20 in an extremely competitive game. The Gators were looking to carry some of that momentum into Saturday night’s game with Kentucky, but that hasn’t been the case as the Wildcats dominated the first 30 minutes en route a 24-7 halftime lead.
Quarterback DJ Lagway has struggled with interceptions this season, and did so again in the first half against the Wildcats with 3 more interceptions.
Florida fans are frustrated with the season as a whole, but Lagway’s struggles have them calling for him to be benched.
Lagway entered the season with huge expectations, but has really struggled to limit turnovers. During the loss to LSU earlier in the season, Lagway through 5 interceptions. On the season, he has thrown 11 touchdowns to 12 interceptions.
If it was up to Florida fans, the Gators would bench Lagway and go with freshman Tramell Jones Jr. On the season, the freshman is 12-of-18 for 131 yards and two touchdowns in the Gators 55-0 season-opening win against LIU.
The schedule doesn’t get any easier for the Gators, they are on the road next week at No. 5 Ole Miss.
