Mertz 47 quarters played at UF, Brown 5, Lagway 5. You would give Pat Sajak a run for master of spin. Mertz didn't get hurt in his first 5 quarters played either. Oh, Brown is hurt now.While QB-dt Brown was not injured vs #9 Mizzou, or by #5 FSU.
And QB-dt Lagway was not injured by the #10 scUM or by Samfords defense that starts with All-American linebacker Noah Martin. Martin has racked up just about every pre-season accolade one could receive.
The best way to protect QB-pp Mertz from injury in his 3rd consecutive start,,, is to leave him on the sideline.... 😉
