Can Jayden Daniels Take LSU To A Bowl Game Victory?

Arizona transfer Jayden Daniels continues to prove the naysayers wrong in his second year under center for the Tigers.

While few people expected the Tigers to compete for a national championship last year, they came startlingly close after an upset win against Alabama.

Now Daniels says he’s as comfortable as he’s ever been for the Bayou Bengals.

“I’ve grown as a whole as a quarterback within the system. When those opportunities present themselves I [need] to take them,” Daniels told reporters before the season opener against Florida State. “We have playmakers on the outside and it’s giving them a chance and throwing them the ball. I feel confident that nine times out of 10 they’re going to make the play. We’ve put the work in this offseason, so now it’s time to pay it off.”

Head Coach Brian Kelly has a monster offensive arsenal, which returns a handful of elite defenders and a lot of talent on offense.

We’re a smarter football team,” Kelly told Sports Illustrated. “We understand the systems, the process, the things necessary to become more consistent in everything we do to be a championship football team. That comes right down to the smallest of details.”

Week 1: LSU 24, Florida State 45

LSU got dominated in Orlando as Florida State took a methodical approach to pull away in the second half.

Week 2: LSU 72, Grambling 10

LSU took a 14-10 lead in the first quarter and scored the final 58 points of the game in a win against the Grambling Tigers on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2013. The Tigers are now 1-1 on the season.

Week 3: LSU 41, Mississippi State 14

LSU went to Starkville and beat Mississippi State Bulldogs 41-14 behind a stellar game from quarterback Jayden Daniels. On Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023, everything went Daniels’ way, who set an LSU passing accuracy record (88% completion rate).

Week 4: LSU 34, Arkansas 31

For the second time out of four games, the Bayou Bengals played a lackluster opening stanza, but found a way to win 34-31 vs. the Arkansas Razorbacks. All the way back to the Florida State game, LSU has not opened strong out of the gate and has had to come from behind to win.

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels looked out of sync in the first half, but he turned it around in a big way in the second half.

LSU Head Coach Brian Kelly saw that his defense couldn’t stop Jefferson. He defended his clock management late in the game, saying that he was just trying to win the game.

“It’s just the nature of two teams in proximity, playing for a rivalry trophy and a team we knew was going to play their very best — and they did,” Kelly said in post-game comments. “We were the last one to have the football and I wasn’t interested in letting Arkansas have another chance.”

Week 5: LSU 49, Ole Miss 55

LSU went on the road and put on a show against Ole Miss, but their defense couldn’t stop the Rebels. LSU gave up more than 700 yards in the 55-49 loss.

LSU will fall in the rankings after ending up on the losing end of a shootout against the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023 in Oxford.

Week 6: LSU 49, Missouri 39

LSU had great games on the ground from their running back and quarterback to escape Columbia, Missouri with a 49-39 win.

Here are the highlights:

Week 7: LSU 48, Auburn 18

Once again, quarterback Jayden Daniels looked like one of the best signal calls in college football as he picked apart the Auburn Tigers on the way to a 48-18 victory on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023.

“It’s just incredible offensive production — throwing it, catching it, running it and the offensive line; pretty impressive stuff,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said in postgame comments.

Let’s look at the highlights of LSU vs. Auburn in 2023:

As for rankings, look for LSU to advance a few spots after losses by a couple teams ranked ahead of them.

Week 8: BYE

LSU had a BYE for Week 8 of the season.

Week 9: Alabama 42, LSU 28

Refusing to dedicate a spy on him, LSU had no answer for Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, who hurt the Tigers with his feet all night in a 42-28 loss in Tuscaloosa.

Making matters worse, Jayden Daniels was knocked out of the game.

Week 10: LSU 52, Gators 35

Jayden Daniels accounted for more than record 600 yards of offense as the LSU Tigers rallied for a 52-35 victory on Nov. 11, 2023, against the Florida Gators.

Week 11: LSU 56, Georgia State 14

The LSU Tigers routed the Georgia State Panthers 56-14 on Saturday, Nov. 20, 2023 at Tiger Stadium.

Daniels accounted for eight LSU touchdowns, tying a record set by former quarterback Joe Burrow.

Final Play

LSU’s 2023 campaign is one for the record books as the team looks to remain an offensive juggernaut but mask their struggles on the defensive end. Will the Tigers be accepted to a Bowl Game?
