Ed Orgeron calls Kentucky loss a tough night for the Tigers: 'I'm not going to feel sorry for myself'
Ed Orgeron and LSU are trying to regroup following a lopsided loss at Kentucky in which the Wildcats built a big lead, and coasted to a 42-21 victory.
He put it simply, “Tough night for the Tigers,” after the game.
Kentucky rang up 329 rushing yards, and QB Will Levis accounted for 5 touchdowns in the win as the Wildcats improved to 6-0 for the first time since 1950.
LSU fell to 3-3 and 1-2 in the SEC, and will host Florida next week as the seat gets hotter for Orgeron.
After the game, here’s a sampling of what Orgeron told the media:
