The LSU Tigers were completely outmatched on Saturday night in Lexington Kentucky as the Wildcats scored the first three touchdowns of the game and went on to win 42-21. Coach Ed Orgeron’s defense gave up 330 yards rushing.
“I think it’s a matter of missed tackles, it’s a matter of us getting out of our gap, give them some credit, I knew they were a good zone (rushing) team coming in, I think we were out of our gap, it was giving them a cut back lane or lane in the gap where we needed to be,” said Orgeron.
The loss drops the Tigers record 3-and-3 and there’s a lot of noise that Orgeron’s coaching days at LSU are coming to an end. Orgeron admits its tough times, but still has confidence that he can turn things around.
“I’m not going to have a bad day at LSU, I’m the head coach at LSU, I love being the head coach here, is it tough yeah but I’m not going to feel sorry for myself, I never will that never will happen,” said Orgeron.
Following the loss, LSU only made one player available to the media and that was Quarterback Max Johnson, he was asked about the team’s 3-and-3 record.
“It freaking sucks, I’m not going to lie, we just have to come back to work on Monday, just get better and grind, block out the noise, just be ourselves, it’s only us, it’s only our team, we just got to work harder and get better,” said Johnson.
LSU hosts 20th ranked Florida on Saturday.
