Florida’s Offense Falters at No. 4 Miami as DJ Lagway Vows Turnaround, Napier Under Scrutiny

Florida hits the bye at 1-3 with Billy Napier still in place for now.

Overview

  • The Gators fell 26-7 at Miami, managing just 141 total yards and going 0-for-13 on third down while scoring 10 points or fewer in back-to-back games for the first time since 1989.
  • Florida is 1-3 for the first time since 1986 and now pauses before hosting Texas on Oct. 4, with Texas A&M to follow.
  • Quarterback DJ Lagway guaranteed change and accepted blame after finishing 12-of-? for 61 yards with no completion longer than 12 yards, including seven throws caught behind the line of scrimmage.
  • Over his past three games, Lagway is 78-of-105 for 560 yards with two touchdowns and six interceptions, and both he and Napier cite lost offseason reps due to injuries as a factor.
  • Napier remains head coach and the offensive play-caller as criticism grows over production and game management, with Florida’s offense producing just three touchdowns across its three losses.
