re: Why Does Daniels Get Sacked So Much

There aren't a lot of quick (primary) routes in the offense and he tends to hold on to the ball longer rather than risking an interception. That, combined with an inconsistent OL, has led to a lot of sacks. I think to some degree the increased sacks are the tradeoff for 1 interception all season. Many times he'll hold on to the ball rather than make a risky throw.
IMO, I think he sometimes hangs in the pocket a bit too long now when there are running lanes ahead of him. The 3rd and 5 when LSU was down 21-17 late in the 4th was a great example of him being decisive to run. The hole opened up in front of him and he didn't hesitate to take off. That quick decision resulted in a 1st down and huge gain.
Of course you would like your QB to make more plays with his arm than his legs. Particularly when you have LSU's WRs. But Daniels is LSU's best "RB" as well and a difference maker as a runner. You have to find the balance to not temper that too much.
