In a bit less than 1/2 of his first game in the Air Raid offense, Daniels was 25 of 34 for 215 yards, with a TD and an INT. He seemed to be doing quite well. As a point of comparison, USC ran 51 offensive plays in the 1H vs. Fresno with Daniels leading the offense. With Slovis in the 2H, they ran 29 plays.
Like Davis Mills, Slovis has little game experience. He will be learning and growing. He'll be developing chemistry with the wide receivers. He'll learn to read coverages and pressure. But I am glad to play a QB with 0 prior starts than one with an entire season of experience.
