Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway commits two turnovers in first quarter against Auburn

Baylor Bears quarterback DJ Lagway struggled during the season opener against the Auburn Tigers on Saturday. Lagway turned the ball over twice in the first quarter, including a fumble and an interception in Auburn territory. The game remained scoreless until Auburn kicker Alex McPherson converted a 43-yard field goal. Lagway transferred to Baylor from the Florida Gators following the 2025 season after throwing 14 interceptions. Seeking a different offensive scheme under Baylor head coach Dave Aranda and offensive coordinator Jake Spavital, Lagway expressed a desire for more freedom in his play. The quarterback previously cited personal challenges during his time at Florida as a factor in his decision to move programs.
