Shortly after DJ Uiagalelei threw an interception that Boston College nearly took back for a touchdown, the chants emerged from the stands at Doak S. Campbell Stadium.
Florida State fans, staring at an eight-point third-quarter deficit that was about to grow to 15, had seen enough from their team's starting quarterback: "We want Brock," the fans chanted, a reference to Brock Glenn , another one of the quarterbacks on the Seminoles ' roster.
Uiagalelei was a high-profile pick-up for coach Mike Norvell and his team in the offseason. The former Clemson and Oregon State quarterback was a former five-star recruit with all the requisite physical tools to excel at the position. Though he never met the lofty expectations that greeted him at Clemson, he had been good enough over the past two seasons, throwing for 43 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for Clemson and Oregon State teams that won a combined 19 games during that stretch.

With Florida State , however, he has gotten off to an inauspicious start. A Week 0 loss to Georgia Tech could have been written off as an early season setback in a foreign country that could be quickly forgotten. But another underwhelming performance, this time at home and against the team picked 14th in the ACC preseason poll, made the calls for change more understandable.
Through two games, Uiagalelei has completed 40 of 69 (57.9%) for 463 yards and one touchdown to one interception.
Should Norvell choose to make a switch, where would he turn? Here's a look at Florida State's depth chart and options at quarterback:

When Seminoles fans made their desire for a new quarterback known, they knew exactly where to turn.
Brock Glenn is Florida State's backup quarterback, listed behind only Uiagalelei on the team's depth chart. Glenn is a redshirt freshman who is in his second season with the program.
Though he's relatively early in his career, Glenn does have some notable college experience. He appeared in five games during the 2023 season, including starts in what were arguably the Seminoles' two most important games of the season: a win against Louisville in the ACC championship game and a loss to Georgia in the Orange Bowl.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Glenn had forgettable outings in each of those matchups, completing only 17 of his 47 passes (36.2%) for 194 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while averaging just 4.1 yards per attempt.
For all of his struggles, Glenn was a true freshman who was unexpectedly thrust into high-leverage situations against top-15 teams after the two players ahead of him on the depth chart were suddenly unable to play due to injuries.
Coming out of Lausanne Collegiate School outside of Memphis, Glenn was a three-star recruit, according to 247Sports' Composite rankings , and was the No. 30 quarterback nationally in the 2023 class. He originally committed to Ohio State before decommitting and choosing the Seminoles.
Here's a look at Florida State's depth chart ahead of the Boston College game:

Beyond that trio, the Seminoles have three other quarterbacks on their 2024 roster: freshman Trever Jackson, redshirt freshman Michael Grant and redshirt sophomore Dylan McNamara.
