Florida’s three-game winning streak, recruiting spike and potential for success with quarterback DJ Lagway has intensified the competition for a roster spot, much less a key role.

Another fight broke out in college football on Saturday, as Florida and Florida State scuffled after the Gators planted a flag at midfield:

The turnover margin was a game-changing factor. While Florida only committed on turnover—a DJ Lagway interception—the Gators forced FSU into eight fumbles, recovering five of them.

The Florida Gators (7-5, 4-4 SEC) trounced out rival Florida State (2-10, 1-7 ACC), 31-11, to finish off the season. They clinched their first winning season since 2020 and have a chance to win eight games for the first time since that same year.
