Here's Ed Orgeron's Response To Florida Scheduling The Tigers For Homecoming

LSU head coach Ed Orgeron was asked Monday at SEC Media Days if Florida's decision to schedule the Tigers as their 2017 Homecoming opponent has anything to do with the bad blood with the Hurricane Matthew game and if he takes any exception to that.

Coach O didn't play into the hype, saying the Tigers will be ready regardless what game it is.

"Here's what I can to tell you, people are going to do what they are going to do," Orgeron said.

"And Florida is a great rivalry for us. We respect them. Anytime we go into the swamp, it's going to be a battle. We need to prepare. I have a lot of respect for Coach McElwain and the job that they do."

"We are going to be ready to play regardless of what it is. We have an upcoming opponent that week that is very tough, and I'm going to get our team ready to play."
