USC football: Does JT Daniels still deserve his starting QB job?

After losing to Cal on Saturday, the Trojans are now a dismal 5-5 and hopes of a Pac-12 Championship appearance have officially been shattered. In the loss, the offense struggled throughout the entirety of the game, scoring zero points in three out of the four quarters. As the leader and quarterback of the offense, this means that JT Daniels received much of the attention around the offense’s shortcomings.

On paper, Daniels did not have such a terrible game, throwing for two touchdowns with an almost 62 percent completion rate. However, he was sacked four times for a net loss of 29 yards and did not make an impact in the second half.
