LSU lost its third consecutive game of the 2024 season after walking out of The Swamp to the Florida Gators. The Bayou Bengals struggled in all three phases of the game. Now, any SEC Championship Game chances are out the window. Florida signal-caller DJ Lagway played above his years. Meanwhile, LSU’s offensive line crumbled, and the Gators’ staff outcoached the Tigers from start to finish.

Florida signal-caller DJ Lagway entered Saturday afternoon’s contest hovering around the 75% mark from a health perspective. Following a battle with a hamstring injury over the last few weeks. Despite being a full go, it was understood the five-star freshman would be forced to beat LSU through the air.

As the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback coming out of high school, Lagway has proven to be a player who can shine. Both on the ground and in the passing attack. On Saturday, he was forced to utilize his arm, and he did just that. In turn, Lagway plays above his years.

Early in the fourth quarter, Lagway dropped back, slid up in the pocket, and delivered a 36-yard strike to Elijhah Badger. Correlate that put the Gators inside the five-yard line before Ja’Kobi Jackson punched in the score to give Florida a 20-13 lead.
