LSU coach Brian Kelly marvels at how much quarterback Jayden Daniels is doing to keep his team in contention in the SEC West.
next game “ ability to run when things are not there is unique,” Kelly said ahead of the game. “His speed, his durability, his toughness puts him up there with the great ones.”
In the season and a half since, Daniels has demonstrated an increasing knack for knowing not just when to run, but whether to run laterally to extend passing opportunities or vertically to gain yards on the ground. He also has exhibited an increasing patience in the pocket and an ability to deliver accurate throws moments before absorbing hits.
Daniels has run or passed for at least four TDs in each of his last five games -- the longest such streak in school history. He also leads the SEC and ranks second nationally in total offense with 398.5 yards per game . At this pace, he’ll have one of the greatest seasons by a QB in LSU history, perhaps behind only Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow during LSU’s unbeaten national championship campaign in 2019.
“No one has stopped him,” Freeze said. “He plays so effortless; literally, he runs for 40-yard touchdowns and looks like he’s jogging, yet no one’s catching him. And his balls are so accurate to those talented receivers. I just think it’s a hard, hard task” to defend him.
