So far, so good: Georgia QB JT Daniels receives great reviews halfway through UGA debut
Georgia quarterback JT Daniels is off to a good start in his Bulldogs career.
He completed 13-of-17 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns in his first half of football with Georgia.
Here’s his touchdown to George Pickens:

Daniels earned his first playing time of the season in this game after Georgia coach Kirby Smart decided to bench Stetson Bennett during UGA’s off week. Bennett completed just 55.6 percent of his passes and threw six interceptions in six games.
Mississippi State has played well enough to force a 17-17 tie at the half.
Here’s some of the reaction to Daniels’ debut:
JT Daniels is looking the part in his Georgia debut. That’s only step 1 in fixing the offense, but it’s a big one.

OK – we know this much about JT Daniels. He has an arm. A strong arm.

THAT was a helluva throw by JT Daniels to Jermaine Burton. A 46-yard STRIKE.

JT Daniels is obviously the best option for Georgia.

JT Daniels should of been playing way sooner for Georgia. Kirby Smart once again wasn’t so smart with his quarterback decision. Gotta be so frustrating for UGA fans, there is so much talent on that team.

We need a thorough investigation of the absolute coaching blunder of not starting JT Daniels from THE JUMP

There’s literally no way JT Daniels actually lost the QB battle unless he was still not 100% healthy https://t.co/9tbVtS5ZFp

Pickens when he found out JT Daniels was starting and he was going to see a ton of targets. pic.twitter.com/09s1cYljJ5

But like in all honesty, I’m glad Kirby FINALLY decided to start JT Daniels ….. #aboutdangtime #UGAvsMSST

JT daniels should’ve had like 5 touchdowns by now

For everybody in the south that didn’t know JT Daniels is a great QB https://t.co/XUaLgKJJes

I hope USC fans didn’t watch that second JT Daniels drive.

JT Daniels looking good so far and we have a George Pickens sighting. @GeorgiaFootball has to be careful on the defensive side. They are only rushing 3 and dropping 8 allowing the check down passes. #HailState #UGA #georgia #football #atlanta #athens #Mississippi #saturday pic.twitter.com/N4AqewOzn5

I’m confused, Georgia has all the 5 star talent ? Why did they get raped by the gators and losing to miss state hahahahahahah
Georgia’s closing the gap between Miss St, for sure.
Gahahhahaha
Lay off the meth.
That includes you to gator
Hahahhhahhaahaaha go gators losers
Go gators loser
What a wannabe loser school, no shock they haven’t won a title in over 40 years
True wannabe losers
He looks good so far, but keep in mind the quality of opponent…apparently the defense hasn’t.
True losers GO gators
Kirby dumb. Lmao
I said it’s great to be a Florida gator! Go gators loser
Go gators loser
Georgia is likely to win this game because Mississippi State traveled with fewer than the minimum number of players you’re supposed to have to play a game, so their defense will likely be exhausted in the fourth.
But so far, except for one nice deep throw down the right sideline, he looks pretty much like the good version of Stetson Bennett. Including sacks and batted passes.
Glad he didn’t play against my Mighty Gators. He can throw the deep ball!
If their offensive line and defense played the way they did tonight, it still wouldn’t have mattered. And even playing an undermanned roster, they only scored 31 points. And all those go routes were eye candy against an undermanned defense.
I was just thinking about how many times they had wide open receivers behind our defense and the other qbs couldn’t connect.
You’re not wrong. But they still would have lost; the score just would have been closer.
The UGA football program and their fans are hilarious. Congrats on being mediocre.
The gap between UGA and the rest of the SEC is so large. They are so talented with great coaching. LARGE GAP!
Mediocre is too nice, these idiots haven’t won anything in 42 years Lmaoooo, true delusional idiots
UGA is living rent free in that empty head of yours. Reality is coming fast gump.
They’re definitely better than the top 50 players at Miss St. Well, maybe top 50, definitely better than 50 players from Miss St.
Actually, I think they only brought 46 to 49 to Athens.
Imagine thinking this pos team was a threat hahahahhahaha – wannabe losers
Its shocking that elite defense is getting ran up and down the field on. I would trade Kirby for any coach in the sec. He has more talent on the field that most and they are clueless week in week out. He most be paying recruits because there is no way these kids could look at Georgia and think they are going to get any better. Fire his butt. Please
It’s shocking you think Georgia can win anything, get your GED for Christ Sake
Go Gators you wannabe losers
Go gators losers
Go gators loses
Imagine thinking Georgia was gonna anything? Lmao
True wanna be losers
Anytime, puss boy ill meet you
When you get off your cousin go watch a the gators rape the dawgs again you POS wannabe loser
Go gators loser
Go gators you wannabe POS
All you are is talk.
GO GATORS LOSER
Your stupidity is on full display. Your a gator fan but try to hide behind a bama logo. Weak @$$ trolling at its best.

Imagine grinding out a game with miss state after getting that gator Beating
