I think you are making assumptions not based on fact here. LSU started a freshman last year, he didn’t play all that well and hung onto the job all season. That freshmen transferred out of the program along with a few other qb’s. Daniels shows up as a clear frontrunner for the job. I know, hating on Daniels is a favorite Utah fan activity but he is actually a very talented player who was very productive when surrounded by NFL talent at the skill positions. Last season he looked like a player trying to do too much, I am sure LSU came after him not the other way around so they must see something they like.
