Everyone is saying the same thing about Baylor QB DJ Lagway after Auburn loss

Fresh out of Florida and ready for a new beginning, Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway faced a challenging start in his first collegiate season in Waco. Unfortunately, Lagway’s promising prospects were quickly undermined by a combination of mistakes and injuries. He fumbled the ball early on, surrendering possession to Auburn and ultimately resulting in a field goal.

Lagway then committed an interception on Baylor’s first two offensive drives, showcasing the same tendency to err that had marked his performance at Florida. Adding to his struggles, Lagway suffered a sprained ankle during the game, which left him largely unable to move or contribute effectively to his team’s offensive plays. Despite these setbacks, Lagway failed to impress with his passes, completing just half of his 54 attempts.

One particularly glaring miss came when he threw the ball behind tight end Matthew Klopfenstein, an error that would have been the difference-maker if executed successfully - a two-point conversion that would have secured a crucial win for Baylor. However, Lagway did exhibit glimpses of potential, most notably on Baylor’s final drive, where he connected with wide receiver Jadon Porter on a 27-yard pass.

This play put Baylor in scoring range, positioning them to attempt a two-point conversion and secure a much-needed victory. As Baylor’s season concluded with a 0-1 record, questions arose about Lagway’s future with the team. His decision to transfer from Florida was met with scrutiny, and many are left wondering if he can turn things around for his new program.

With their next game against Prairie View A&M looming on September 12 at 8 p.m. ET, Baylor fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Lagway can overcome his early-season struggles and deliver the results his team needs.
