UFs QB Mertz done

[truebluewildcat]

Lagway has real deal talent and potential. Still raw…still in boom n bust cycle of his development like most freshman with raw ability.

Will be very interesting to see how he plays down the home stretch. He may play just good enough to squeeze out a few wins and save Napier. Not solely because Gator brass will be happy with .500, but if Lagway looks good he may give Napier just enough leverage to say “hey you can pay my buyout and I’m taking Lagway with me…or you can spend some of that money in the portal to surround this kid with some talent”

Or Gators will totally hit the shits, but lagway’s potential will probably be enough to get Napier a role at a top end program in need of a QB.

DYK the Vandy stadium is the oldest in the South, over 100 years old? It was built at a time when Vandy was THE major Southern football power. They're supposedly spending tens of millions of dollars upgrading, we'll see how that goes.

They're investing in their program and it's showing. You would think they would be able to come up with a competitive amount of NIL money considering where they are and the fact they have a ton of big money donors to the school. Convincing them to pony up for football is all they need to do.

One year we played there they had a concert/carnival on the field the Thursday before our game, Nick Chubb got a cleat caught in a rut they didn't try to fix and blew up his knee.

Not true. At all. That was 2015. He got hit by one defender which turned him around and he was hit by the 2nd defender as his leg was extended behind him.

He is big and fast, about 6'3" 240. UF fans have been calling for him to start since the 1st game. They haven't lit the scoreboard up with him, but bigtime arm and quick release, and a true frosh.

Grumpy he looks good to me. I would much rather have Mertz in the pocket game managing than this large athletic person. we have had Floridas number of late. they have their stuff together now, and I feel a loss coming on- hope im wrong.

Seems like our experience with back-up QBs is such that anytime it happens, it's a bad day for UK. Like you I'm hoping your suggestions are applied and we make it 4 in a row.

Looks like the backup QB is getting it done for UF! Why is there no pressure on him?

Looks like the backup-QB-looks-like-Heisman-candidate theory still rings true for Kentucky. Lagway was awful when he didn't have eight seconds to throw, and wide open receivers to throw to. The Go route is the easiest pass to make for a QB. Anyone who has ever played football could duplicate most, if not all of those throws. It's like playing touch football in the backyard. The Ole Miss game would have ended the same way, but we got pressure on Dart, whereas, with Lagway, he had an hour to throw everytime. He's been playing the whole time, so it's not like he just started playing last weekend.

When Brock had time to throw and had someone wide open down field, what was the result?

Old Uk fan mentality

Jaxson Datt…pretty pedestrian performance
Carson Beck……maybe his worst game of season
The amazing Pavia from Vandy…limping around to 20 pts

Uk defense has been fine all year

Now the offense is another story

Hmmm
