The Crimson Tide might be welcoming a Heisman Award finalist to Tuscaloosa this weekend.
Through his first year in the Southeastern Conference, LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels said he learned the “grueling” nature of the schedule. Each week features an elite team or a hostile environment, sometimes both.
“He killed us last year. ... I think overall they execute their offense to perfection and it starts with him because he makes the right reads relative to runs and passes and zone option plays and pass down plays. He’s very good at reading coverages, makes really quick decisions. All those things were evident last year by the way he played and I think he’s probably even better now because he has even more experience and knowledge in the offense and they’ve got really good players around him.
Daniels, a senior from San Bernadino, Calif., has orchestrated it all in his second year as Brian Kelly’s starter. The 13th-ranked Tigers haven’t scored fewer than 25 points since Week 1, a loss to Florida State. Since, a combination of Daniels’ arm and LSU’s overall rushing attack, which includes Logan Diggs, has punished defenses.
Saban said while LSU can execute quarterback draws and designed runs, many of Daniels’ chunks came on broken-down plays and scrambles. Tide middle linebacker Deontae Lawson compared facing UA quarterback Jalen Milroe’s dual-threat ability in practice each day when asked about the pressures of facing Daniels.
