LSU held its spring game Saturday in Baton Rouge. The new offense implemented by Joe Brady was on display as well as impressive play from newcomers Derek Stingley Jr. and Apu Ika.
After the spring game, Orgeron met with the media and shared his thoughts on a few individual performances, the injury to Badara Traore, as well as a recent non-football story, his controversial involvement in political fundraising.
Here’s a sampling of what Orgeron told reporters:

According to head coach Ed Orgeron he “gets a burrito and goes home to study football.”
