As the penultimate game of Week 1 draws to a close, Florida State leads LSU 17-10 after three-quarter play in New Orleans. FSU quarterback Jordan Travis had a 27-yard strike with Ontario Wilson — who had a superb one-handed catch near the tower — to make it two runs halfway through the frame. That game included a target call on star LSU linebacker Ali Gay, who hit QB Jayden Daniels with a blatant helmet-to-helmet, which left Gay packing for the rest of the night.
However, LSU recovered the cost. The Tigers started an 82-yard drive with the help of a 30-yard penalty, but Noah Kane ended the game with a 1-yard drop on the fourth goal. That game was the first time LSU looked like a capable offense, and the purple and gold crowd came alive as both teams entered the final inning.
Daniels has been running for his life on a Seminole defense that lives in the backcourt. The pressure has relegated Daniels to a “read-and-go” quarterback, which has prevented him from finding receivers deep in the backcourt.
