By: Nick Marcinko -- December 27, 2024 Florida football’s path to an 8-5 season was unique given the Gators suffered multiple injuries at quarterback in 2024. After reviewing Florida’s snap count report at the end of the regular season, I noticed that DJ Lagway, Graham Mertz, and Aidan Warner all logged 125+ snaps at quarterback. I thought to myself “Florida has to be one of the only seven win teams that used three different quarterbacks during the season.” How did Florida fare against other teams that played three quarterbacks in 2024? | GatorCountry.com
It's interesting to think of what could have been with a healthy DJ in the UGA game. I hope he stays healthy for the remainder of his college football days. Football is a collision sport and injuries happen all the time, but I think we now have much more experienced depth in the room. We have the top 2 freshman long ball passers in the nation on our team, and the experience that Warner got should be very helpful to our team, if we find ourselves in the same situation. Although having to play a third string QB next year would be disappointing... at least we'll have someone that can hand the ball off.
