FSU's DJ Uiagalelei Out vs. Clemson Due to Finger Injury, Mike Norvell Says

Florida State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei will miss his team's home game against No. 15 Clemson on Saturday with a broken finger on his throwing hand.

"He's going to be out for this Saturday," FSU head coach Mike Norvell told reporters Tuesday, per Liam Rooney of the Tallahassee Democrat.

"We've still got some further testing to see what the longevity of that is going to keep him out, but that will most likely be the next couple of weeks."

Uiagalelei suffered the injury during FSU's 42-16 loss to SMU. Brock Glenn took over for Uiagalelei and is expected to get the start against Clemson, per Rooney.

The Seminoles began the year as the No. 10 team in the Associated Press poll, but it's been a disastrous year for the 1-4 program. FSU has scored just 66 points (13.2 PPG), and none of its losses have come against ranked teams.

Uiagalelei has not fared well, completing just 53.8 percent of his passes for 1,065 yards, four touchdowns and six interceptions. He's in his fifth collegiate season, having played three years for Clemson before suiting up for Oregon State in 2023.

Now the Seminoles turn to Glenn, who saw some action last year, most notably in relief of starter Jordan Travis after he suffered a season-ending leg injury.

Glenn completed 19-of-51 passes for 229 yards and two interceptions. In relief of Uiagalelei last Saturday, Glenn went 0-for-4 passing.

The upcoming road will not be easy for FSU. After the Clemson game, FSU has a bye before going on the road against undefeated Duke and No. 8 Miami.
