On Saturday night, J.T. Daniels proved to the world he can live up to his five-star hype, throwing for 401 yards, 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions in a 31-24 win over Mississippi State.
Daniels was everything we had hoped he would be. He was connecting on his deep targets, which has been the biggest issue among Georgia quarterbacks this year. Daniels connected with true freshman Jermaine Burton 8 times for 197 yards and 2 touchdowns, and the two of them were in a groove all night. Also exciting was he was connecting with George Pickens, who quietly had a really nice game as well – catching 8 balls for 87 yards and a touchdown.
Basically, it looked like a real offense.
It’s actually been seven years since Georgia has had a quarterback do what Daniels did. And keep in mind we’ve played for a national title since then.
On Saturday night, Daniels became the first Georgia quarterback to throw for 400 yards in a game since Aaron Murray did so in 2013.
Huge pass comp!!
