Gators Online Show: Florida vs. Samford preview, DJ Lagway starts
Welcome to the Gators Online Show! For episode 103, co-hosts Zach Abolverdi and Nick de la Torre preview the Florida-Samford game on Saturday.
We open the show with news on true freshman quarterback DJ Lagway, who will make his first career start. Graham Mertz is out with a concussion.
We discuss what this means for Lagway and the Florida football program, our expectations for his starting debut and how it could impact the QB position moving forward.
Mertz is one of four starters out for the Gators this week. We share our takeaways from the new depth chart, the lineup changes and who will need to step up due to injuries.
We wrap up the show with a preview of Saturday’s game at 7 p.m. on SEC Network+. We break down the top storylines to follow, players to watch in Week 2 and more.
We also share our keys to the game for the Gators to come out victorious against Samford, which would snap a six-game losing streak dating back to 2023.
