Uiagalelei was the target of a whole lot of memes after the Seminoles fell to Georgia Tech in Dublin last week.
The Oregon State transfer has a lot to prove tonight in that his latest performance was just an aberration.
He neglected to throw any touchdown passes last week, but I have a feeling the senior will bounce back.
It didn’t feel like the “real” Uiagalelei was allowed to be himself throughout the game.
He started to show his true colors during a fourth-quarter drive, but why didn’t we see that version the whole time?
After returning from across the pond, Norvell stated that he’s looking for his team to be more explosive, and there’s every reason to believe it will be.
The entire offensive line has stayed put, with the exception of guard Richie Leonard IV.
Florida State’s line ranked 49th in the FBS in 2023 and allowed a sack percentage of just 5.4%.
Uiagalelei will have ample amount of time to find his perfect target, and he has plenty of options to throw to.
Both Malik Benson and Ja’khi Douglas are capable of creating separation and generating explosive plays.
Boston College was also dreadful defensively in ‘23, ranking 105th in Passing Defense Success Rate and 115th in Explosiveness allowed.
It’s perfect timing for Uiagalelei to get his groove back.
