GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Billy Napier says quarterback Graham Mertz will miss the remainder of the season because of a knee injury. Mertz tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a 23-17 overtime loss at Tennessee on Saturday. The sixth-year senior from Overland, Kansas, awkwardly caught his cleat in the turf after throwing a 13-yard touchdown pass to Arlis Boardingham in the third quarter. Napier will turn to highly touted freshman DJ Lagway beginning with Saturday’s homecoming game against Kentucky.
