Reactions to Jayden Daniels’ historic performance in LSU’s win over Florida
With LSU’s recent defensive struggles, quarterback Jayden Daniels needed to put the team on his back against a Florida offense that is starting to hit its stride and came to play Saturday night.
Daniels answered that call, turning in arguably the most impressive college quarterback performance we’ve ever seen. He finished with more than 600 total yards (372 passing and 234 rushing) along with five total touchdowns.
He became the first player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to throw for more than 350 yards and rush for more than 200 in a game as the Tigers won 52-35.
Here’s how the internet reacted to Daniels’ Heisman moment.
There is no better player in the country than Jayden Daniels.

#LSU QB Jayden Daniels is not only one of the top passers in CFB, but he can fly…
Daniels had an 85-yard TD run in the first half.
Now, this.
He’s been the best player in CFB. No clue what the losses will do for his Heisman hopes, but he’s electric. pic.twitter.com/h2Ne0b61HD

Kinda think Jayden Daniels should win the Heisman and at this point, a loss tonight would almost make the point stronger. This is a year to just make it explicit that it's a team award

Still processing what we just watched:

Also… I saw about 25 plays of LSU and Florida between flights.
If you don’t have Jayden Daniels in you’re top 2-3 on your Heisman Ballot, you shouldn’t have a vote.
That guy is unreal. Can’t wait to watch the tape tomorrow.

Jayden Daniels has broken the #LSU record for total yards in one football game with 585 yards.
He surpasses @RohanDavey6 who had 540 yards against Alabama in 2001.

Spoken to a few SEC defensive coordinators this fall before they’ve played LSU and the game plan is always to “contain Jayden Daniels”. Nobody can do it. Can’t prepare how slippery AND fast he is. Multiple Heisman moments tonight. pic.twitter.com/NnoPSiL76o

#LSU beat Florida, 52-35. Jayden Daniels had 606 yards.
Who else should be at the Heisman ceremony with him?

If Jayden Daniels doesn’t win the Heisman, it’s a team award now.
Plain and simple.

Don’t care what record LSU finishes with, Jayden Daniels 100% deserves a trip to New York.
