Fans got their first real taste of the freshman three-star quarterback those around the team have been talking about all summer. Jalon Daniels played the entire game Saturday, his first meaningful minutes coming on the road against a team who last year was in the college football playoff hunt.
You have surely seen the stats: 19/33 for 159 yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions. But that doesn’t really tell the full story. Daniels showed off his arm strength and was close to connecting on some big plays—he overthrew Andrew Parchment by a couple yards on a 50-yard bomb that would have resulted in a touchdown.
