DJ Uiagalelei accepted the spring showcase for what it is: an opportunity to build his connection with teammates and strengthen his understanding of the offense in what is the next step in the Florida State quarterback's learning.

“It was up and down,” Uiagalelei said. “Thought there was some good, thought there was some bad. It wasn’t obviously the cleanest day. Stuff I can learn from. But overall throughout the whole spring I thought I did a good job, continue to keep progressing day in and day out. I just try to get better each and every day. Learn from what I did right, from what I did wrong.”

There was a mix of both in FSU’s spring showcase on Saturday. There was enough to be optimistic about for what Uiagalelei and the offense could show in August as well as some rough edges that need to be worked out.

Uiagalelei completed 12 of 26 passes for 177 yards and had 17 rushing yards. On the surface, those numbers may not look like much. Factor in at least three drops, all on catchable passes, and Uiagalelei’s total easily surpasses 225 yards.
