Be afraid, be very afraid, SEC. LSU finally has a high-powered offense that makes use of their stud wide receivers, gains loads of yards and lights up the scoreboard.
After a 45-38 win over No. 9 Texas in Austin, LSU coach Ed Orgeron was happy to talk about the new-look Tigers offense under play-caller Joe Brady. Orgeron also praised Joe Burrow, Texas QB Sam Ehlinger and talked about staying aggressive until the very end.
Reporters in Austin shared some of the highlights of what Orgeron had to say after LSU’s big win over Texas:
