Uiagalelei struggled in FSU's first three losses, completing 56 of 99 passes for 666 yards while only managing 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. It's not entirely his fault, as the offensive line struggled at times with the running backs, wide receivers and tight ends.

The fans loudly demanded a change in the quarterback position and called for a replacement Brock Glenn to get into the game in the final two home games. Glenn started in the ACC Championship Game and the Orange Bowl for the 'Noles in 2023. The then-freshman didn't set the world on fire in those two games, completing just 37.3% of his passes for 229 yards and 2 interceptions over the course of the 2023 season. He also ran 19 times for 22 yards and a touchdown last year.

FSU's other option as quarterback is the former High Four star Lukas Kromenhoeka true freshman at Benedictine Military School in Savannah, Georgia. Kromenhoek joined the program in December and has continued to grow since then.
