DJ Lagway and Elijhah Badger will only get to play together for one season with the Florida Gators, and the duo is making the most of it.
, but even with these peaks and valleys, freshman quarterback DJ Lagway and senior wideout Elijhah Badger have cultivated a great relationship on the field.
Things between the two got going early in this contest. On the second drive of the game, Lagway found his star receiver for a 23-yard touchdown that allowed the hosts to take a 7-0 over the Tigers.It wasn’t until the second half when things really started to click. Immediately out of the locker room, Florida’s freshman phenom found Badger for a 19-yard gain. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much as far as that drive went.
, perfectly placed a pass into Badger’s hands for a 36-yard gain down to the Tiger’s 1-yard line. This catch set up the go-ahead touchdown that would give the Gators control of the game and eventually its first win over LSU since 2018.This isn’t new for the Gators though. Badger has been a constant deep threat all season and Lagway has the arm talent to put it on the money every time he is open down field. It’s why they work so well together, which is something Lagway detailed after the game.
He has only been the starter four games – one of those was against Georgia where he was injured early in the second quarter – and in three of them, Badger has gone for 100 or more yards. Those also make up all of Badger's 100-yard performances this year.
