Alabama LB Dallas Turner penalized for severe Jayden Daniels hit during Week 10 clash

LSU Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels was at the receiving end of a hard hit by Alabama linebacker Dallas Turner during their Week 10 clash.

Turner was flagged for roughing the passer, giving the LSU Tigers a first down. Further, Daniels sustained an injury and spent the final 11 minutes of the game in the injury tent, with Garrett Nussmeier replacing him.

The LSU quarterback’s head had bounced off the turf as he was tackled and he remained on the ground for a while before the athletic trainers came out and attended to him.

Coach Brian Kelly gave an update on Daniels:

"He had a head injury and was not able to come back. We'll love to put him through more testing before I can accurately say that was concussion, non-concussion, things of that nature."

Jayden Daniels' performance vs. Alabama Crimson Tide

Before leaving the field, Daniels put up solid numbers against the Alabama Crimson Tide (8-1, 6-0 SEC), furthering his claim to be a Heisman Trophy finalist.

Daniels completed 15/24 passes for 219 yards, two TDs and one interception before being replaced by Garrett in the fourth quarter.

After the game, Coach Kelly said:

“You can’t play good. We played good tonight. Good’s not good enough. We’ve got to prepare better. We should coach our players better when we go on the road in such environments.”

With this loss, the LSU Tigers' chances of repeating as SEC West champions in Kelly’s second season took a major hit.
