re: Another vote for Daniels

Daniels' teammates at his former school would probably advise against it.

They were pissed that he left, because they won 8 games and he was the returning starter. He was a big reason they won as many as they did.

Here's one thing I don't get: a lot of guys who are saying Nuss, keep talking about big-play potential. Daniels has shown by FAR the most big-play potential of the 3. I know they're called highlights for a reason, but dude is ripping off bombs and huge runs against conference opponents, including Washington and Oregon.

I went on ESPN, watched highlights from a number of ASU's games, including the ones they lost. His arm looks fine, he can make the necessary throws. He looks like Alvin Kamara running, slices for tons of yards where you don't see much room. The big thing is how easily he would run for 8+ yds when he would take off, and it didn't look like there was room.

Doesn't bother me that he doesn't have a lot of 300 yd games, because that's scheme-dependent. They ran for a lot of yds in some of those games.

I don't see how you can have Daniels and Brennan in the same scheme, because Brennan can't run like that. Nussmeier could probably go either way.
