Jayden Daniels And LSU's Offense Continue To Make History In 56-14 Win Over Georgia State

BATON ROUGE – Jayden Daniels accounted for over 500 yards of offense Saturday night in Death Valley as the LSU offense continued to make history in a 56-14 victory over Georgia State.

The dual-threat Daniels was clicking on all cylinders Saturday, showing once again why he is one of the most exciting players in the nation being mentioned in the Heisman conversation. For the sixth time this season he accounted for at least 410 yards of offense. He became the first player in LSU history with at least five passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in the same game. He tied Joe Burrow’s record from the 2019 College Football Playoff semifinal with eight total touchdowns. He finished the night 25-30 for 413 yards with six passing touchdowns to go along with 96 rushing yards on 10 carries with two touchdowns.

Saturday marked Daniels’ 22nd game in his career with at least one passing and one rushing touchdown, tied with Bo Nix for the most among active QBs. He also became the 11th player in FBS history with 3,000+ passing yards and 1,000+ rushing yards in a season.

LSU scored touchdowns on all eight of the possessions that Daniels was leading the offense.

For the second time in program history three receivers – Malik Nabers (140), Brian Thomas Jr. (103) and Kyren Lacy (101) – went over 100 yards joining the trio of Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase and Terrace Marshall Jr. during the 2019 game at Texas, but Saturday was the first time three receivers had 100+ yards and all caught a touchdown pass. For Nabers it was his eighth game with 100+ receiving yards this season, tied with Jefferson (2019) for the third most in LSU history.

LSU will return for its final regular season game of the year next Saturday at 11 a.m. CT against Texas A&M on ESPN
