Out West, USC Stands Alone

I didn't think Daniels would win because of his team's W/L record but I thought he was the most deserving. He was essentially 2023's Caleb Williams where the team had no defense, no running game and he had to put them on his back every game. Yes the SEC was down this year but it's still one of the strongest conferences and to put up the numbers that he did was outstanding.

Perhaps, or maybe he gets injured later in the game. This is all conjecture. What we do know is Utah is better coached, more physical, and had already beaten USC once (thx refs), so you can't rule them out just bc the game started well.

can't argue with your points. He certainly was the reason LSU won the games they did, but they never had a wiff of making the playoffs. Lots of empty stats that are better suited for the coach in Oxford, MS.
