re: Jayden Daniels stats for year

I am curious as to what better defenses you expect to see. Does TENN and Florida look like exceptional defenses to you? Arkansas? Ole Miss? (Tulsa scored 27 on them). Does Auburn, next week's opponent look like an exceptional defense. My view, all of the above are average to below average defenses.

Bama yes. But ok, they are Bama under Nick Saban. Aggies look like a very good defense.

Daniels is getting better coaching than he did at ASU and has more playmakers to work with here at LSU than he had at ASU (he only had good ones his Freshman year at ASU). No offense to Herm Edwards at ASU but he was run, play action old school type offense. No sure how much development Daniels got under Coach Herm, who I like, but Herm's offenses looked like a slightly better version than Les Miles offenses.

And lots not forget because of the COVID-19 policies in the PAC12, the development of players in that league in my view was really impacted by the lock out from training and weight room facilities from like March 2020 till what amounts to late September 2020 and then the PAC12 had minimal games that year.
