South Carolina hires the Georgia State head coach, who had been in charge of the Panthers since 2017, as an offensive assistant.

According to multiple reports, Georgia State head coach Shawn Elliott is expected to be hired as the new tight ends coach at South Carolina.

Elliott has been the head coach of the Panthers program since 2017 and has amassed a combined 41-44 overall record during that span.

Everything Brian Kelly said about Jayden Daniels, LSU’s big win over Georgia State

Brian Kelly discussed Jayden Daniels’ Heisman candidacy among other topics after the game.

LSU coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] seemed to use Saturday night’s game against Georgia State as a showcase for [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag]’ Heisman candidacy.

In the Tigers’ 56-14 win over the Panthers, Daniels totaled eight touchdowns, matching the SEC record set by [autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag] back in 2019, in addition to surpassing 600 yards of total offense.

Daniels now looks to be in a possible two-man race for the Heisman Trophy alongside Bo Nix, who had a big game of his own Saturday. A statistically dominant game from Daniels may ultimately go a long way.

Here’s everything Kelly said about Daniels’ performance as well as that of the rest of the team after the game.

Reactions as Jayden Daniels delivers another Heisman-worthy performance in win over Georgia State

Jayden Daniels tied the program record with eight total touchdowns on Saturday night.

LSU sits at 8-3 on the year after a 56-14 win over Georgia State and well outside the College Football Playoff picture.

It’s becoming harder to hold that against quarterback [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag], however, as he delivered yet another performance on Saturday night that makes it clear he deserves to be on that Heisman stage next month.

It was clear the Tigers were trying to pad Daniels’ stats a bit, and the result was an eight total touchdown game (six passing, two rushing) as he tied Joe Burrow’s program record for touchdowns in a game.

Here’s how the internet reacted as Daniels turned in another Heisman-caliber performance.

Five takeaways from LSU’s win over Georgia State

Here are five takeaways from LSU’s blowout win over Georgia State.

LSU picked up its eighth win of the year on Saturday night, thrashing Georgia State 56-14.

Despite the high total from LSU, it was the first time all year the under hit in an LSU game. It was another big night for Heisman contender [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag], who became the 11th player in FBS history to pass for 3,000 yards and run for 1,000 in a season.

The Tigers now turn their attention to Texas A&M with one game left on the regular season schedule. Sitting at 8-3, another 10-win year remains a realistic goal for [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] in Year 2.

Here are five takeaways from the win.
