With 11 minutes left in the third quarter, the Texas A&M Aggies took a 24-14 lead over [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] and the LSU Tigers. That’s when Daniels flipped the script on the Aggies. Daniels led the Tigers as they outscored A&M 28-6 during the rest of the third quarter and for the fourth quarter to lead his team to a win. He showed the type of resiliency that a star quarterback needs.
With his back against the wall, Daniels came out swinging as he threw three touchdown passes in the final two quarters. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] discussed Daniels’s sense of urgency at the end of the game after the big win.
“I think we made some plays defensively that I thought got some momentum and then, quite frankly, I thought our offensive line kind of stood tall, protected and we won some one-on-one matchups,” he said. “Became a little bit more predictable in terms of what was going to happen out there. They had tried some different things obviously with dropping eight and he hurt them running the football and then the pressures, we were able to start to pick up the pressures and then get the one-on-one matchups and again, you may get Jayden for a little bit but you just can’t keep him down.”
LSU awaits their bowl game opponent as they look for back-to-back 10-win seasons.
