Florida State football fans are running out of patience as their team’s quarterback struggles.

The most obvious sign of that came shortly after starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, a transfer from Clemson via Oregon State, threw an interception attempting a conversion on fourth down on the first drive of the second half.

An errant Uiagalelei pass fell to Boston College’s Max Tucker, who returned it 58 yards to the Florida State 7-yard line. Two plays later, Boston College scored a touchdown to take a 21-6 lead in the second half, prompting FSU fans to chant, “We want Brock.”

“Brock,” of course, refers to backup quarterback Brock Glenn, a 6-foot-2 redshirt freshman who was a three-star recruit in the Seminoles’ 2023 recruiting class. He was the No. 30 QB in the class and the No. 481 player in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

According to his Florida State bio, Glenn played in five games last season, completing 19 of 51 passes for 229 yards and two interceptions.

At the time of the interception, Uiagalelei had completed less than 50% of his passes for just over 100 yards and an interception. Of course, he followed up two drives later with a 3-of-4 passing drive for 73 yards and a 29-touchdown to Kentron Poitier to make it 21-13.

Whether FSU fans will get their wish to see Glenn in the game remains to be seen.
