Harold Perkins enters medical tent early against Texas A&M following big third down stop
The LSU Tigers are looking to end their season strong against Texas A&M, and they’ll need stars like Harold Perkins to play to their best ability.
On an early third down, the star defender made an incredible play, stopping the Aggies short of the line to gain. However, he got up slowly, and has entered the blue medical tent after landing hard while making a tackle.
UPDATE: Perkins was out of the medical tent and ready to return after LSU scored their first touchdown of the afternoon, according to the Tigers radio team.
Tim Tebow: Jayden Daniels can ‘make a statement’ in Heisman race against Texas A&M
Consider Tim Tebow a fan of LSU Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels, as the former would welcome the latter into the Heisman fraternity with open arms.
Daniels has been incredible this season. Through 11 games this season, he’s completed 72.6 percent of passes for 3,577 yards. Daniels also has 36 touchdown passes to only four interceptions. On top of that, he’s rushed for 1,014 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Still, he’s not the runaway Heisman favorite, due to LSU’s losses on the season. While it’s far from his fault, Tebow wants to see Daniels make his final statement an epic one on Saturday, as the Tigers face the stingy Texas A&M defense.
“It is ridiculous. 13 touchdowns in two games is silly. But he’s really been doing it all year, and he’s getting better every single week. Some of the things that you watch him do is, this guy gets skinny in the pocket, and then he accelerates. … There’s a lot of quarterbacks that get credit for their ability to escape, none better right now than Jayden Daniels. But also look at his velo. The velocity with that arm, it’s silly. He’s doing it over and over. Maybe what I like most that doesn’t get talked about, his touch and anticipation. Come on. … He’s doing it over and over and over again.
“This is a kid who’s getting better every single week. But he’s also going up against one of his toughest tests this afternoon in Texas A&M, who’s got the eighth best defense in college football. It’s going to be a great test. If Jayden wants to make a statement, he’s got a shot.”
Will a huge game against the Aggies be enough? It remains to be seen, but that’s where Jayden Daniels must go if he’s to bring the Heisman back to Baton Rouge in 2023.
