This time last year the LSU quarterback room was maybe the single biggest question mark heading into year one of the Brian Kelly era.
Jayden Daniels transferred in from Arizona State, Myles Brennan took his name out of the portal, Garrett Nussmeier showed some flashes as a true freshman, and heir to the throne Walker Howard enrolled in January.
We saw what happened. Brennan retired from football; Daniels, thanks in large part to his mobility, got the starting gig and thank goodness he can run because LSU’s offensive line was rough in the beginning; Nuss got the most playing time of his young career while serving as Daniels’s backup, and Howard transferred following the bowl game.
