Postgame Comments From Ed Orgeron After LSU's Loss To Mississippi State

I'll say, the worse defensive performance ever for an LSU football team in their History. No excuses, yeah we missed Stingley but it looks like we missed Aranda more that O thought. Bo your defense sucked ALL game. Offense was just south of horrible, Brennan played like Harris did against Auburn a few years back, except Brennan has been here for 4 flipping years, my gosh. I don't think any Tiger fans expected this. Good gosh look at our schedule and find 5 wins, from the mountain top to the out house. geez

Pelini's defense was an absolute joke.

I thought the offensive line played decent. Brennan consistently held the ball as if none of our receivers could get separation. Burrow used to throw guys open but Brennan clearly does not possess that skill. RPO was a critical part of the offensive scheme last season. If Brennan can't operate the RPO then he needs to be benched in favor of Max Johnson.

These boards are incredible. We lost our whole team, and lost our best player the night before the game. Some of y’all are ready to fire coach O. He is building something special at LSU, if you idiots will just support it and cheer for your team. You can’t have the greatest season ever played every year.

It wasn’t the play calling there were several plays where Brennan did not see the field players were wide open. On plays where he should take 3 steps back he would take 6. Holding on to the ball way too long.

We gave up the most passing yards EVER given up in any SEC game played...EVER. what does Bo Pelini have to say about that? Why didnt we adjust to play some zone?

With both Logan AND Stingley out who other than Stevens was on the field that started on defense last year?

Maybe chase seen the writing on the wall with this team being so young and not experienced. Kind of see why he prob did want to opt out this year. These guys have never played together. Good thing I didn’t have high hopes for this year. Let’s just coach these young guys up right and win some games.

So then why did we stubbornly stay in Man defense?

Tell Pelini to blow me

Time to pull out Max Johnson and go in dry on the SEC.

Season is just getting started; let's see what they're made of.

Maybe it is time to hire younger innovative coaches, not old retreads. Maybe we went in the wrong direction when we lost the talented coaches we had. Maybe we should have considered Jorge Munoz. Maybe Bo Pelini doesn’t know how to defense spread option attacks. The test will be if O can fire coaches if they are ineffective or can bench players (Brennan?) who are not meant to be starters. Saban would not sit on his hands but Les did. Is Coach O Going to be more like Nick or more like Les?

SEASON OVER BEFORE IT EVEN STARTED. 10 point loss by a non rated team.

I mean say it how u want this offensive game plan didn’t get Myles prepared or ready that was evident.

Correct! The hype went to his head. He better go back to last year's strategy or he will look like a chump!

They still had chances-to win. Realistically they could finish 6-3 to close out .600 and build for 2021. Bama, UF and Auburn will be tough foes.

Just like the waterboy, we suck again. Horrible game. Out played and definitely out coached.

If we could cover in man and it was obvious, then why was no adjustments made in coverage and on defense the whole game? That is on Pelini. And the offense didn't play well. The first quarter was abysmal, first half for that matter, and they left the defense out there the whole first half. 3 outs were in vogue.

It looked like Les was back on the sideline today. I will give them a pass this year due to the loss of talent, but have to wonder how much losing Brady and Aranda will hurt in the long run. Wasn’t a fan of Pelini on his first go. He is not all there mentally.
