LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels posted a performance for the ages Saturday to help the Tigers beat Florida 52-35 at home.

The star signal-caller recorded 17 completions on 26 attempts for 372 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. He also rushed for 234 yards (19.5 per carry) and two scores en route to entering the record books.

Here are some insane numbers from Daniels' performance versus the Gators:

1: Daniels became the first FBS player ever to amass at least 350 yards passing and 200-plus rushing yards in one game. Only two other QBs - Washington's Marques Tuiasosopo (1999) and Louisville's Malik Cunningham (2021) - have ever achieved 300-200 in a contest.

85: We should've known what was coming after Daniels scored an 85-yard touchdown run in the second quarter - the longest rushing TD ever by an LSU quarterback. He also had a 51-yard score on the ground in the game.

234: Daniels' rushing yards also set a Tigers quarterback record in a single contest.

606: Daniels' total yardage Saturday, an SEC single-game record. No other player had ever topped 600 yards in the history of the conference. Rohan Davey's 540 total yards versus Alabama in 2001 was LSU's previous all-time high in that category.

701: The number of yards Florida allowed versus the Daniels-led LSU offense. That's the most the Gators have allowed in a single game in their decorated history.

12K-3K: With Saturday's monster performance, the senior passer is now the first FBS player to eclipse 12,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards in a career.
