OXFORD, Miss. — When DJ Lagway entered the media room after Saturday’s 34-24 loss at No. 6 Ole Miss, the quarterback looked dejected. A gray Gators beanie was pulled almost down to his eyebrows, and Lagway, who completed 16 of 31 with one touchdown and one interception, shrank in his chair, staring at the floor as linebacker Myles Graham took the majority of the questions.

Even when Lagway was asked, he murmured his responses in a monotone voice, staring at the bricks on the back of the wall. For much of the game, Florida (3-7, 2-5 SEC) had been on top, but the fourth-quarter comeback by the Rebels (10-1, 6-1) seemed to zap all the energy from the sophomore, leaving only dejection and disappointment.
