What LSU coach Ed Orgeron said about Tigers' disheartening loss at Mizzou
The LSU Tigers are now 1-2 after falling at Mizzou 45-41 on Saturday afternoon. The game was moved from Baton Rouge due to Hurricane Delta.
It was a back-and-forth offensive shootout, with both teams marching down the field at-will. But, a late stand from the Mizzou defense stymied LSU’s last chance to win the game.
After the loss, LSU coach Ed Orgeron spoke with the media. Here’s what he had to say about the disappointing game:
On coming up short on late goal-line stand by Mizzou:
Ed Orgeron on not being able to score on the goal line: “We have to look at the scheme. But we’ve got to get it in. We’re LSU, we should be able to score on the 1-yard line.” #LSU

On confidence in DC Bo Pelini:
Ed Orgeron's asked after three games his confidence in the Bo Pelini hire: "I love Bo. I think Bo's going to be a great defensive coordinator, but we have to get better." #LSU

On going 0-for-10 on third downs:
Ed Orgeron's asked about 0-for-10 on third down, if there was a common issue: "Pressure… guys missing play. Scheme needs to be better. I think it's a combination of everything." #LSU

On Missouri’s offense:

LSU heads to Florida next week. Both teams are coming off losses. We’ll see next weekend if the Tigers can get back on track after a rough start to the year.
I didn’t think LSU or UF would lose this week, but here we are. We are simply not a good team right now. I’m not looking forward to playing in the Swamp. That could really get ugly for our defense.
“I think Mississippi State could throw it 20 times more than LSU and LSU could still end up with more yards passing because of the big play potential.”
You have been confused for a very long time.
Not sure why you keep insisting on letting everyone know what you think.
LOL at you kid.
“…whatever it is we’ve got to get it fixed”, said Orgeron.
It’s you coach.
It’s you.
How many times do I have to say it before people catch on?
But coach o said our defense was way ahead of last years defense. and what moron was calling all the pass plays with 3 of their DL’s out. We could have run the clock and saved our Swiss cheese defense some embarrassment. Horribly out coached. What are all the analysts doing with the game planing????? Have they watched any film of who we are playing.
“Horribly out coached” sums it up succinctly. I feel bad for the kids.
Nah. The kids were as bad as the coaches. Bo is taking a deserved beating, but the offense has plenty of issues also. No excuse for not getting into the end zone at the end. Wouldn’t have even needed a TD if we wouldn’t have missed a FG. Issues everywhere. No answers yet.
It was blocked wasn’t it?
We still have to block. Missed FG’s aren’t always on the kicker.
LOL!
This is an embarrassment;losing to a winless Mizzou team, poor secondary positioning and defensive tackling, no pass rush and just a piss poor effort on the defense. Forget about even making a bowl game, at this point the Tigers need to be concerned about finishing above .500.
