    Florida football quarterback DJ Laway was carted off the field Saturday against No. 2 Georgia after suffering a hamstring injury. He could no longer bear weight on his leg and was carried into the cart.

    Lagway, a former five-star recruit, served as the Gators’ starter after Graham Mertz suffered a season-ending ACL tear against Tennessee. He led Florida to a 10-3 lead just before halftime after throwing a 43-yard touchdown to Aidan Mizell in the second quarter.

    The crowd chanted “DJ Lagway” as he was carted off the field.
