What Ed Orgeron said about rivalry with Alabama after landing full-time job at LSU
The LSU Tigers are an elite program with lofty goals, and one of those goals is to compete for national championships.
No one knows that better than coach Ed Orgeron, and Coach O also knows that to reach those goals, you have to beat Alabama.
Ahead of a huge showdown between the Tigers and Crimson Tide in two weeks, it’s worth looking back at what Coach O said about the Alabama rivalry when he landed the full-time job at LSU a couple of years ago:
Ed Orgeron on the #Bama game at his introductory news conference after landing the #LSU full-time head coaching job.
“You are judged by that game. That's the nature of the beast. I welcome it. I bring it on. I can't wait till the day we beat those guys.”

Obviously, it won’t be easy to take down the Tide, even though the Tigers host this year’s game in Week 10 after both teams have byes next week.
Will LSU be able to give the Tide a game? We’ll have to wait to find out, but Coach O has his team looking dominant at the moment.
