Based on watching the man play. It has nothing to do with anything else. Look, so far as I am concerned, it is OK for people to disagree. In this case I disagree with BK (and evidently you) about JD5 being QB. As I see it the QB first and most important job is to pass the ball part of which includes being a legitimate threat over the middle and in the long game. Daniels is neither of those. People extoll his running but that is a consequence of his weakness seeing the field.

Joe Burrow ran for many first downs, some of which were designed runs of course. However, a large measure of his running success was a result of his ability to torch defenses with the pass, especially over the middle and with the long ball. The times no one was open he usually had a lot of room to run for a first down. This is not JD5's game...at all. DCs will get his scrambling sorted out quickly. If he cannot pierce the defense with the vertical passing game, LSU's offense will founder. Bank on it.

It's to move the football and score TDs. It doesn't matter how that is done. A passing TD counts the same as a rushing TD. We averaged over a TD better per game this season compared to last (26 pts per game vs 34).

In fact, you have to go all the way back to 2013 (outside of 2019) to find a year when LSU scored more points per game than this season.
