re: Was surprised to see that LSU is ranked #11 nationally in rushing offense

About a third.

I’d argue that vastly understates the impact he has on the rush game.

Defenses are needing to maintain gap discipline against him which means:
-You can’t unleash the pass rush how you normally would or he will take off running
-You have to spy him taking a guy away from coverage/blitz
-He rushes for a very solid average and forces you to respect the RPO looks

I’d say LSU would be 50% less efficient rushing the ball if Daniels missed time.
