I’ve been a loud detractor of O. For that reason, I feel I must give credit when due. Winning in the SEC on the road in any venue is tough. Winning in the Swamp after the week LSU has had is not something to simply dismiss.

Very good win For Orgeron and the team. I believe it’s the first road SEC win he’s ever had...even dating back to his OM days. Good for him.

I need more proof of stabilization before I can support another year of his leadership, but yesterday was positive and hopefully a building block for future success.

Let’s be real. LSU won because of a missed PAT.

It was a good win. Hopefully, this was the spark for the rest of the season. It's nice to at least be able to look forward to next week.

But they put themselves in the position to win with the play the rest of the game.

We weren’t gonna kick a FG on that final possession? Just take a knee and head home. GTFOH.

LSU was in a position to win. Going to the Swamp and winning is hard no matter how good you are. LSU didn't win because of a missed PAT. They had the ball at the end with two minutes and ran the clock out... in field goal range.

With a tie game we don't milk the clock on the last drive. Whole strategy has to be different.

Jesus..

Yeah, because without it LSU surely would have lost.

The team surprised me with energy and grit. Lets be honest here, the previous years we would have mismanaged the end of the game and UF would have had a shot at a FG to win.

As bad as last week was, this week was surprisingly good.

Wow. So it had nothing to do with holding Florida to 2 of 9 on 3rd down, sacking the QB 5 times, scoring 17 points on offense or holding the ball for over 7.5 more minutes?

Man, you should be the coach.

Let's be real. LSU shut UF down in the 4th qtr and had the ball in position to drive for a field goal if needed but simply ran the clock out.

LSU played well down the stretch and earned the win whether you like it or not.

The biggest question mark for me heading into the game was how the players would respond after a brutal week. I was proud to see them strap it on and play some big boy football.

It wasn't pretty but they played hard. I'll give Coach O credit for that.

Rand AlThor-Using your logic, Lets Be Real, Florida win Last Year because Guice ran the Wrong way. GTFOH.

This teams pride was questioned and they came out and answered the bell. Great job by the Tigers.

H beat Arkansas and Texas A&M on the road last year, unless you're excluding his time as interim.

That’s right...I’m talking about non-interim.
