During his press conference on Monday, head coach Brian Kelly was asked if he would like LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels to run less.
quote:

Q. Ideally, do you want Jayden Daniels to run less? Are you okay with him taking on that much of a workload running the football?

BRIAN KELLY: Yeah, I mean I think when we evaluate when he runs we want to see that if it was within the progression and it was a really good coverage. Or maybe that play wasn't great against this coverage. Or we got beat at a particular position and he got flushed. Versus you turn down, you know, a potential high/low read and you took off, right?

And so that's what we're trying to evaluate. And it's really a little bit of both. I think there's still growth there where we can stay a little bit more patient and a little bit more locked in on the progression. And then there are some times where there are really dynamic runs where there was really just nothing there and he made something happen.

So you want to be careful where you go, Hey, you're running too much, and then when he needs to be dynamic he's not. So we have to be very careful and along the way keep coaching him to really do a great job of getting through his progressions and seeing the things necessary that allows us to be balanced in both.

Kelly is spot on with his comments here.

I don't mind the guy running when things break down, but he is missing wide open receivers early in routes...

The idea that any coach would know everything about how his team will react in a live situation before the first game is absurd.

Equally absurd is the notion that any correction can happen instantly rather than as a gradual process

Sometimes the intelligence level on this board is an indictment of the Louisiana educational system .

JD5 has intangible skills, i.e., he's f'ing fast as hell. His accuracy is not the best, but IS serviceable. With proper coaching he can lead the Tigers to more wins!

Lowes as bad as they played and coached as you say!! A 24-23 loss in your first game with all new coaches and mostly new players to a decent not great team I can forgive! What I like to see is them get better each week and so far they have
