C.J. Daniels is having himself a game in Tallahassee and having a little fun too.
The senior wide receiver got the party started for the Hurricanes tonight with a touchdown catch that gave Miami a 7-3 lead over FSU in the first quarter. But it was his celebration after the touchdown that got everyone's attention.

Yep, he did the Warchant.
Daniels has been a major part of the Hurricanes' passing game this year with 20 catches for 242 yards and five touchdowns, counting tonight's performance. He made his splash in Coral Gables during Week 1 against Notre Dame with one of the great catches of the season.
Mario Cristobal had been targeting Daniels, an LSU transfer, for two years and now that he's got the former blue-chip prospect from Atlanta in the fold, he wants to make the most of it.
"I've been chasing CJ for two years," Cristobal said after the Notre Dame game. "Since the day he got here—and his foot was banged up, and it was a while before he got on the field—he was an exceptional leader in that room. That guy took over the room and he established regiment and culture. He had those guys in there in the early hours watching the film, had those guys taking care of their bodies, teaching those guys how to track the ball and how to play the game at a higher level. CJ Daniels is an absolute pro."
Daniels was clearly pumped up for this rivalry game — the first time that FSU and Miami have both been ranked since 2016 — and it was his second touchdown that gave the Hurricanes a commanding 28-3 lead late in the third quarter.

A little scoring and a little singing in what is likely going to be a huge win for the Hurricanes. That's the mark that CJ Daniels will leave in this year's FSU-Miami game.
