    Just watched the Monday presser, CBN announced that Warner is the backup to DJ. Is Clay Millen hurt?

    Can he be interim HC?

    J/K. Hate to see his cfb career end on something like that though I guess its not terrible his last pass was a TD.

    About to post this, didn't want to create a duplicate thread. Thank you, Graham Mertz. You came into a difficult spot and stabilized the quarterback position. It is not your fault your team lost games. Get well and go impress some NFL team. I wish you the best.

    Called the ACL the minute the Louis Riddick said he wasnt touched. Generally one of two things and it was clear it wasnt an achilles by the way he put some weight on the foot.

    Listened to the radio pre-game and I think Shane Matthews mentioned that the turf was TRASHED from Morgan Wallen concerts the week before

    For the effort and Hussle he put in, Mertz deserved better. Wish him a fast recovery.

    Man I hate to hear this. He is such a great Gator. By all accounts an incredible teammate and leader.

    Class act all the way! What a shame he gets a season-ending injury two years in a row.

    Man, that sucks for him. Hate to see his college days end like that. Hope he makes a complete recovery... and makes a squad in the NFL.

    I think Warner is just playing better than Millen as he’s not listed on previous injury reports.

    I think Warner had already gone in before Millen previously. Samford?

    I hate it for Graham Mertz, the guy was a baller, threw accurate passes, and gave up his body many times to get an extra yard. Thanks Graham, for being a Gator!
