Article: DJ Lagway Going ‘Right To Work’ After Gasparilla Bowl Performance

The importance of our defensive rebound cannot be overstated.

When you can play tough defense, your offense and QB can have an off day, and you will still win. Thank God we have a defense again.

This game was a great learning experience for DJ, and true to form, he is back at work to improve upon his performance.

DJ improves, our defense plays tough? Great days ahead for the Gators.

 

I not only agree with this, but I will expound on it by saying that depth is NOT a luxury in the SEC, but a necessity to get to the top. We need quality depth on the defense.

I can't wait to see Lagway with one more year of growth and training under his belt. He's already a superstar...

 

A year into his career at UF, DJL has confronted the realities of modern CFB and generally kicked butt. How else to describe 6-1 as an 18 YO FR QB whose one loss occurred against a very, very good team after leaving the game with a lingering injury and the lead. Despite his other-worldly arm talent, size and athleticism, DJ's greatest attribute, IMO, is his champion's heart and the will to win.

 

As spectacular as he already is, there's glaring parts of his game which he can improve on, particularly his passing game and reading the defense between 0-25 yards. I think all his turnovers came from short and intermediate passing plays.

If those are freshman lumps he's taking, then I am all for it. Those will clean up especially with the WR room next year.
