LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels will take the field in Tallahassee on Sunday night to begin his final year in college football against No. 8 Florida State. 

The Tigers, ranked No. 5 to start the season, are relying on Daniels in his fifth collegiate season (three years at Arizona State before transferring to LSU last season) to hit the ground running after falling to the Seminoles, 24-23, to begin the 2022 campaign. 

While most teams start their seasons against lesser opponents, LSU and Florida State are two Top 10 teams pitted against each other. Daniels wouldn't have it any other way.

"I love the big games to start the season," he told Fox News Digital while discussing his national TV spot for Powerade that will premiere Sunday night during the game. "That’s what I came to LSU for, to be a part of these types of games. It’s a blessing.

We’re going against a very talented team, so it’s a blessing. We got to be prepared because if not, it can get ugly."

It may be his final year in college football, but Daniels isn't focused on what awaits him once his final game is over.
