Ed Orgeron and LSU take on Alabama this week, and the Tigers are again dealing with a host of injuries.
Among them, Orgeron said on the SEC coaches media teleconference that Cordale Flott is “very questionable. I doubt he’s gonna play.”
About LSU’s approach against Alabama, Orgeron said, “We’re going to have to run the football. We have to be 50-50. … It’s always a challenge against Alabama because they’re strong up front. Very impressive. They always are. Every year I’ve been here. They coach great, they recruit great.”
Orgeron again responded to his profane comments after LSU’s win over Alabama in 2019, which were shared on social media.
“I just wish that wouldn’t have gotten out,” Orgeron said. “I meant no disrespect to anyone at Alabama. That was said in the privacy of the locker room. I wish that wouldn’t have gotten out.”
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
