LSU coach Brian Kelly says Jayden Daniels has become one of college football's elite quarterbacks by complementing his “unique” scrambling ability and toughness with greater savvy and awareness as a passer. Daniels enters Saturday night's home game against Auburn having run or passed for at least four TDs in each of his last five games.

“I see those things and his quarterbacks coach and the offensive coordinator see the little things that he’s doing under duress or under pressure or getting hit after he throws a very accurate ball that are starting to separate him from good to great,” Kelly said. “No one has stopped him,” Freeze said. “He plays so effortless; literally, he runs for 40-yard touchdowns and looks like he’s jogging, yet no one’s catching him. And his balls are so accurate to those talented receivers. I just think it’s a hard, hard task” to defend him.
“He was not progressing through his reads. He was coming off them too soon. He wasn’t staying in the pocket. He wasn’t being patient,” Kelly recalled. “He has fixed a lot of those things.”Auburn hasn’t been able to get its passing game going this season, ranking 119th in pass offense behind Payton Thorne and backup Robby Ashford.. However, Ashford had a career passing day in last year’s LSU game, racking up 337 yards. It’s the only time he has managed 300 passing yards.
