Interesting Daniels Stat

What does he look like this year?

There were a few other factors in the first half of Ark. Oline was one of them. But what he did show was great emotional strength to not let any of that bother him and was able to go on that 75 yd, 18 second drive for TD at the end of the first half. Then continue in the2nd half. That will go a long ways for if he does struggle initially in another game. You don't just pull your starting QB just because he struggles a little in the beginning. Especially JD. But I do agree that it would be better to be sharp at the get go.

It seems like the plan for Denbrock is to start every game almost exclusively throwing the ball. Maybe its to get Daniels in a rhythm. Maybe it's to get an early read on the defense. But, IMO, with Diggs playing well, perhaps LSU might want to lean on the running game a bit more early.

I’ve been a huge Daniels fan from the start but yeah, he was objectively out of sync in that first half. Turned it around and played well the rest of the game though, which was great to see.

The major thing that changed between 1H and 2H was Daniels connecting. Missed Nabers on 3rd down on the first drive and missed on a couple of deep balls when the WRs had plenty of separation. If he connects on those, we're up at least 24-13 at half and run away with it in the 2nd half. He also got bailed out on a terrible thrown deep ball to BTJ in the 2nd half.

I think there's going to be a game soon where we chip away on 1st and 2nd down, he's off and misses the 3rd down plays, and it spirals on us due to the lack of D. I'm thinking it will either be @Ole Miss, @Mizzou, or A&M. I hope I'm wrong though

I pulled this from the SEC Rant

There surely wasn't any pre-contrived narrative

"away from tiger stadium last year" was actually 7 games.

He only played 1/2 of the UGA game and the Purdue game. He played well in both. Got hurt against GA and we were blowing Purdue out. He had the flu against Arkansas. He didn't have a good game against A&M

He played awesome against Florida. Those are 4 of his last 5 games away from Tiger Stadium last year.

last week grew my confidence in JD

Maybe in the second half but in the first half he failed to throw the ball SOON ENOUGH to two of our WIDE OPEN WRs.

Here is a comparison of Dart @ home for Ole Miss and Daniel away for LSU. All games including this season so far.

Jayden is nearly as good away as Dart is at home over the last season and a half. Keep in mind that includes all of Ole Miss' cupcake games at home. This season only

Think you need to be careful about including stays from last year.
The o line is better, he’s more comfortable in the system in year 2.

Not sure that has any bearing at all this year.
