From The Advocate.
quote:

Kelly and his coaching staff will decide this weekend who will start at QB, but probably won’t make the announcement until Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Kelly feels it’s important to name one now but acknowledges it’s a close call noting to reporters, “If you were voting as a group in here, it might be split in this room,” Kelly said. “It's pretty close. I think you can probably understand why, for us, we're not jumping out there giving you a quarterback because they're both fine quarterbacks and it's that close. But we're going to have to make a decision here in the next few days.”

There remains a possibility that both quarterbacks appear against Florida State. Kelly wants to avoid a two-quarterback system, but he said recently that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if Daniels and Nussmeier both got an opportunity to play this season.


TTT's take - Doesn't matter which LSU QB starts, what matters is which one can finish the season.

This has long been decided. He's just making it a little more difficult for fsu because they are two very different QBs

If it’s that close then I assume they are comfortable with Daniels making the reads and he has shown he can make all the passes effectively. His speed and mobility would give Daniels the edge imo with everything else being equal. Will be interesting to see if both get reps if it’s a tight game.

Will be the least surprising annoucement since O said to Brandi, "Come on baby, let's go."

Both guys will play next weekend.
Daniels will start but I imagine Kelly will want to run some packages for Nuss.

Either way I see both of them getting playing time this fall unless Daniels just blows it out of the water
